Consider the discrete-time systems $T_1$ and $T_2$ defined as follows:

{ $T_1 x[ n ] = x[ 0 ] + x[ 1 ] + \cdots + x[ n ] $}

{ $T_2 x[ n ] = x[ 0 ] + \frac{1}{2} x[ 1 ] + \cdots + \frac{1}{2^n} x[ n ] $}

Which one of the following statements is true?

If the Z-transform of a finite-duration discrete-time signal $x[n]$ is $X(z)$, then the Z-transform of the signal $y[n] = x[2n]$ is

If the energy of a continuous-time signal $x(t)$ is $E$ and the energy of the signal $2x(2t - 1)$ is $cE$, then $c$ is _____ (rounded off to 1 decimal place).
