Since there are four sign changes and no complete row of zeros, there are four right half-
plane poles and three left half-plane poles.

6.2
Make a Routh table. We encounter a row of zeros on the s3 row. The even polynomial is
contained in the previous row as 6s4 þ 0s2 þ 6. Taking the derivative yields
18 Solutions to Skill-Assessment Exercises

24s3 þ 0s. Replacing the row of zeros with the coefficients of the derivative yields the s3
row. We also encounter a zero in the first column at the s2 row. We replace the zero
with e and continue the table. The final result is shown now as

s6 1 6 1 6
s5 1 0 1 0
s4 6 0 6 0
s3 24 0 0 0 ROZ
s2 e 6 0 0
s1 144=e 0 0 0
s0 6 0 0 0

There is one sign change below the even polynomial. Thus the even polynomial
(4th order) has one right half-plane pole, one left half-plane pole, and 2 imaginary
axis poles. From the top of the table down to the even polynomial yields one sign
change. Thus, the rest of the polynomial has one right half-plane root, and one left
half-plane root. The total for the system is two right half-plane poles, two left half-
plane poles, and 2 imaginary poles.

b. The phase angle is 180 at a frequency of 36.74 rad/s. At this frequency the gain is

system is stable for K < 96; 270.
c. For K ¼ 10; 000, the magnitude plot is moved up 20log10; 000 ¼ 80 dB. Therefore,
the gain margin is 99:67  80 ¼ 19:67 dB. The 180 frequency is 36.7 rad/s. The

The initial slope is 40 dB/dec. Therefore, the system is Type 2. The initial slope

after squaring both sides and rearranging, v4 þ v2  100 ¼ 0. Solving for the roots,
v2 ¼ 10:51; 9:51. Taking the square root of the positive root, we find the 0 dB
frequency to be 3.08 rad/s. At this frequency, the phase angle, f ¼ ffðv þ jÞ ¼
ffð3:08 þ jÞ ¼ 162 . Therefore the phase margin is 180  162 ¼ 18 .

Therefore the phase margin is 180  179:65 ¼ 0:35 . Thus, the system is stable.

Therefore the phase margin is 28:59  180 ¼ 151:41 deg. Thus, the system is
