Expand $X(z) = frac{1}{1+az}$ into a causal sequence












0












$begingroup$


For a HW problem, I'm told to expand $frac{1}{1+az}$ into a causal and noncausal sequence. I found the noncausal sequence by long division (the result is $1-az+(az)^2-dots$) and found the region of convergence, but I'm not sure how to find the causal sequence. The full question is :

          If $frac{1}{1+az}=sum b_n z^{-n}$, then plugging in $w=1/z$, we get $frac{1}{1+a/w}=sum b_n w^n$. So let us rewrite $frac{1}{1+a/w}=frac{1}{frac{w+a}{w}}=frac{w}{a+w}=(w/a)frac{1}{1-(-w/a)}=(w/a)sum (-w/a)^n$. Now just expand and plug back in for $z$.

            You have
            $$
            frac{1}{1+az}
            = frac{1}{az} left[ frac{1}{1 + 1/(az)} right]
            $$

              So do partial fraction decomposition on this? And it would chain into a series of these terms?
