1. Consider the transfer function G(s) = . Determine the number of poles of G(s)
s3+ 7s2 + 25s + 39
having their real parts within the interval (−2.5, −1).
2. For the system shown in the following figure, find the system type, the appropriate error constant
Kp , and the steady-state error for a unit step input. (Assume input and output signals are of same
unit.)
