If F(z)=\frac{z+3}{z-2}, find f[k].
Note that we can write F(z) as
\frac{z+3}{z-2}=\frac{z}{z-2}+\frac{3}{z-2}The reason for this choice is that quantities like the first on the r.h.s. appear in Table 22.2. From this table we find
\mathcal{Z}\left\{2^k\right\}=\frac{z}{z-2}and write
\mathcal{Z}^{-1}\left\{\frac{z}{z-2}\right\}=2^kwhere \mathcal{Z}^{-1} denotes the inverse z transform. Also,
\begin{aligned} \frac{3}{z-2} & =\frac{3}{z} \frac{z}{z-2} \\ & =3 z^{-1} \frac{z}{z-2} \end{aligned}Using the second shift property we see that
\mathcal{Z}\left\{3(2)^{k-1} u[k-1]\right\}=\frac{3}{z} \frac{z}{z-2}so that
\begin{aligned} \mathcal{Z}^{-1}\left\{\frac{z+3}{z-2}\right\} & =\mathcal{Z}^{-1}\left\{\frac{z}{z-2}\right\}+\mathcal{Z}^{-1}\left\{3 z^{-1} \frac{z}{z-2}\right\} \\ & =2^k+3(2)^{k-1} u[k-1] \\ & = \begin{cases}1 & k=0 \\ 2^k+3(2)^{k-1} & k=1,2, \ldots\end{cases} \\ & = \begin{cases}1 & k=0 \\ 2(2)^{k-1}+3(2)^{k-1} & k=1,2, \ldots\end{cases} \\ & = \begin{cases}1 & k=0 \\ 5(2)^{k-1} & k=1,2, \ldots\end{cases} \end{aligned}Table 22.2
