Find Z transform of the given function x(n). Need very urgent help. 

### Mathematical Expression on Discrete Signals

The equation provided represents a discrete-time signal \( x[n] \):

\[ x[n] = -0.5 \delta[n + 1] + \delta[n] \]

#### Explanation:

- **\( x[n] \)**: Represents the discrete signal at time index \( n \).

- **\( \delta[n] \)**: The Kronecker delta function, a discrete analog of the Dirac delta function. It is defined as:
  \[
  \delta[n] = 
  \begin{cases} 
  1 & \text{if } n = 0 \\ 
  0 & \text{otherwise} 
  \end{cases}
  \]
  This function is used to denote impulse signals in discrete time.

- **\( \delta[n + 1] \)**: Represents a shifted delta function. The shift \( +1 \) indicates a delay by one sample in the positive direction of the index \( n \).

- **Coefficients**:
  - **\(-0.5\)**: This is a scaling factor applied to the \( \delta[n + 1] \) term, indicating that the impulse at \( n = -1 \) will be scaled down by half.

#### Signal Description:
This equation describes a signal that consists of two impulses:
- An impulse at \( n = 0 \) with a magnitude of 1.
- A scaled impulse at \( n = -1 \) with a magnitude of \(-0.5\).

This signal can be visualized as discrete spikes occurring at the specified indices.
