Final answer:
In this case, the transfer function H(z) is

Step-by-step explanation:
Let's denote Y(z) as the z-transform of the output signal y[n], and X(z) as the z-transform of the input signal x[n]. The z-transform of the delayed signal y[n−1] is
, and the z-transform of the delayed signal
is

Using these notations, we can rewrite the given difference equation in the z-domain:

Next, we can factor out Y(z) and X(z) on the left side of the equation:
To find the transfer function H(z) for the given LTI system with the difference equation:
![y[n] + 1/4y[n-1] - 3/8y[n-2] = 2x[n] + 2x[n-2]](https://img.qammunity.org/2024/formulas/mathematics/college/54cc9rln819rwl8ko2a6gk8305al71v5pf.png)
We can rewrite the equation in terms of z-transforms:

Now, we can factor out Y(z) and X(z):

Dividing both sides by the expression in parentheses gives us:

Now, we need to simplify this expression. Multiply the numerator and denominator by
to eliminate the negative powers of z:

The transfer function H(z) is given by:
