The ROC (region of convergence) of the z-transform of a discrete-time signal is represented by the shaded region in the z-plane. If the signal $$x\left[ n \right] = \,{\left( {2.0} \right)^{\left| n \right|}}$$ , $$ - \infty < n < + \infty $$ then the ROC of its z-transform is represented by

A sequence x$$\left[ n \right]$$ is specified as $$\left[ {\matrix{ {x\left[ n \right]} \cr {x\left[ {n - 1} \right]} \cr } } \right] = {\left[ {\matrix{ 1 \cr 1 \cr } \,\matrix{ 1 \cr 0 \cr } } \right]^n}\left[ {\matrix{ 1 \cr 0 \cr } } \right]$$, for n $$ \ge $$2.
The initial conditions are x$$\left[ 0 \right]$$ = 1, x$$\left[ 1 \right]$$=1 and x$$\left[ n \right]$$=0 for n< 0. The value of x$$\left[ 12 \right]$$ is _____________________.

For the discrete-time system shown in the figure, the poles of the system transfer function are located at
