Question:

The causal signal with z-transform $z^{2}(z-a)^{-2}$ is ($u[n]$ is the unit step signal)
 

Show Hint

Remember: $(n+1)a^n u[n]$ always corresponds to $z^{2}/(z-a)^2$ in the Z-transform table.

  • $a^{2n}u[n]$
  • $(n+1)a^{n}u[n]$
  • $n^{-1} a^{n} u[n]$
  • $n^{2} a^{n} u[n]$

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

We start from the standard Z-transform identity: \[ \mathcal{Z}\{ (n+1)a^{n}u[n] \} = \frac{z^{2}}{(z-a)^{2}} \]
Given the z-transform in the question is \[ z^{2}(z-a)^{-2}, \] it exactly matches the Z-transform of the sequence \[ (n+1)a^{n}u[n]. \]
Thus, the corresponding causal time-domain signal is $(n+1)a^{n}u[n]$.
Final Answer: $(n+1)a^{n}u[n]$
