  1. A linear discrete-time system has the characteristic equation, z3 – 0.81z = 0
    The system—
    1. is stable
    2. is marginally stable
    3. is unstable
    4. stability cannot be assessed from the given information.
Correct Option: A

Given equation z3 – 0·81z = 0
z(z – 0·81) = 0
z(z – ·9) (z + ·9) = 0
z = 0, 0·9, – 0·9
since all the roots lies inside the unit circle.
Hence the given system is stable.
