Correct answer
(D)
Solution
The input signal contains discrete-time frequencies . For the output to be zero for all , the transfer function of the filter must have zeros at .
The transfer function for the three-tap filter is:
Since the zeros are at and , we have:
Comparing the coefficients of with :
and .
