Question:medium

A relaxed linear time-invariant system with impulse response \[ h(n)=a^n u(n), \qquad |a|<1 \] when the input is a unit step sequence, \[ x(n)=u(n), \] then the output \(y(\infty)\) of the system is

Show Hint

For \[ \sum_{k=0}^{n}r^k = \frac{1-r^{n+1}}{1-r}. \] Always recognize geometric series immediately in DSP problems.

  • \(\dfrac{1+a^{(n+1)}}{1+a}\)
  • \(\dfrac{1-a^{(n-1)}}{1+a}\)
  • \(\dfrac{1-a^{(n+1)}}{1-a}\)
  • \(1-a\)
