(a) (5 points) Plot the samples of x[n] and y[n].
(b) (5 points) Plot the samples of the sequence z[n] = x[n]y[n], which are obtained from the
point-wise product of the samples of x[n] and y[n].
(c) (5 points) What is the energy of the sequences x[n] and z[n]?
Problem 3. (10 points) For each of the discrete-time signals listed below, determine if the signal
is periodic or not. If the signal is periodic, determine the fundamental period.

)
(b) (5 points) x[n] = 2 cos(0.48πn) + 1.5 sin(0.8πn + π/3)
Problem 4. (15 points) Consider an arbitrary sequence x[n] with even and odd parts denoted by
xe[n] and xo[n], respectively. Show that the DC level of x[n] coincides with the DC level of its even
part.
The DC level of a sequence x[n] is defined as the average value of the sequence:

Problem 5. (15 points) Let x[n] = x1[n]x2[n]. Show that:
(a) (5 points) If both x1[n] and x2[n] are even, then x[n] is even.
(b) (5 points) If both x1[n] and x2[n] are odd, then x[n] is even.
(c) (5 points) If x1[n] is even and x2[n] is odd, then x[n] is odd.
