For stability, we require K > 0 and b > 0. Therefore, using the condition
that b > 0, we obtain
3K? +6K -5>0,
and solving for K yields K > 0.63 and K < -2.63. We select K > 0.53,
since we also have the condition that A’ > 0.

Solving for K’ yields K = 5.83 and K = 0.17. However, for stability
we require KC > 1 (from the Routh array), so we select K = 5.83
