Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a transfer function H(s) = (s + 4)/(s^2 + 2s + 5), find the poles and discuss the system's stability.

💡 Hint: Use the quadratic formula to find the roots.

Challenge 2 Hard

A system has poles at s = -1, s = -1 + j, s = -1 - j. Are there any conditions affecting stability?

💡 Hint: Assess each pole's location individually.
