Question 1

What indicates a stable system in H(s)?

  • All poles in the Right Half-Plane
  • All poles in the Left Half-Plane
  • Poles on the Imaginary Axis

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about where poles should not be for stability.

Question 2

True or False: Zeros affect the stability of a system.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on roles of poles vs. zeros.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a transfer function H(s) = (s + 4)(s + 1)/(s^2 + 5s + 6), calculate the poles and zeros and analyze the stability.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use factoring for zeros and the quadratic formula for poles.

Question 2

Sketch the pole-zero plot for H(s) = (s + 2) / (s^2 + 3s + 2) and determine its stability.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Plot the points on the complex plane and reference stability conditions.
