Fourier transform
In mathematics, a Fourier transform (FT) is a mathematical transform that decomposes a function (often a function of time, or a signal) into its constituent frequencies, such as the expression of a musical chord in terms of the volumes and frequencies of its constituent notes. The term Fourier transform refers to both the frequency domain representation and the mathematical operation that associates the frequency domain representation to a function of time.
The Fourier transform of a function of time is a complex-valued function of frequency, whose magnitude (absolute value) represents the amount of that frequency present in the original function, and whose argument is the phase offset of the basic sinusoid in that frequency. The Fourier transform is not limited to functions of time, but the domain of the original function is commonly referred to as the time domain. There is also an inverse Fourier transform that mathematically synthesizes the original function from its frequency domain representation, as proven by the Fourier inversion theorem
The function-

Is called the Fourier transform of the function f(x).
The function f(x) given below is called inverse Fourier transform of F(s)-

Properties of Fourier transform-
Property-1: Linear property- If F(s) and G(s) are two Fourier transforms of f(x) and g(x) respectively, then-

Where a and b are the constants.
Property-2: Change of scale- If F(s) is a Fourier transform of f(x), then

Property-3: Shifting property- If F(s) is a Fourier transform of f(x), then

Which is the required answer.
In mathematics and signal processing, the Z-transform converts a discrete-time signal, which is a sequence of real or complex numbers, into a complex frequency-domain representation. It can be considered as a discrete-time equivalent of the Laplace transform. This similarity is explored in the theory of time-scale calculus.
Analysis of continuous-time LTI systems can be done using z-transforms. It is a powerful mathematical tool to convert differential equations into algebraic equations.
The bilateral (two-sided) z-transform of a discrete-time signal x(n) is given as
Z.T[x(n)] = X(Z) =
The unilateral (one sided) z-transform of a discrete time signal x(n) is given as
Z.T[x(n) = X(Z) =
Z-transform may exist for some signals for which Discrete-Time Fourier Transform (DTFT) does not exist.
Definition
The Z-transform can be defined as either a one-sided or two-sided transform.
Bilateral Z-transform
The bilateral or two-sided Z-transform of a discrete-time signal x(n) is the formal power series X(z) defined as
X (z) = Z =
Where n is an integer and z is, in general, a complex number:

Where A is the magnitude of z,j is the imaginary unit and is the complex argument (also referred to as angle or phase) in radians.
Unilateral Z-transform
Alternatively, in cases where x[n] is defined only for the single-sided or unilateral Z-transform is defined as
X (z) = Z =
In signal processing, this definition can be used to evaluate the Z-transform of the unit impulse response of a discrete-time causal system.
An important example of the unilateral Z-transform is the probability-generating function, where the component x[n] is the probability that a discrete random variable takes the value n, and the function X(z) is usually written as X(s) in terms of s = x-1. The properties of Z-transforms (below) have useful interpretations in the context of probability theory.

Region of Convergence (ROC) of Z-Transform
The range of variation of z for which z-transform converges is called the region of convergence of z-transform.
Properties of ROC of Z-Transforms
- ROC of z-transform is indicated with a circle in z-plane.
- ROC does not contain any poles.
- If x(n) is a finite duration causal sequence or right-sided sequence, then the ROC is entire z-plane except at z = 0.
- If x(n) is a finite duration anti-causal sequence or left-sided sequence, then the ROC is the entire z-plane except at z = ∞.
- If x(n) is an infinite duration causal sequence, ROC is the exterior of the circle with radius a. i.e. |z| > a.
- If x(n) is an infinite duration anti-causal sequence, ROC is the interior of the circle with radius a. i.e. |z| < a.
- If x(n) is a finite duration two sided sequence, then the ROC is entire z-plane except at z = 0 & z = ∞.
