The root locus exists on real axis to
left of an odd number of poles and
zeros of open loop transfer function,
G(s)H(s), that are on the real axis.

These real pole and zero locations are

highlighted on diagram, along with
the portion of the locus that exists on
the real axis.

Root locus exists on real axis

between:

0 and -1, -2 and negative infinity

... because on the real axis, we have 3

poles at s = -1, -2, 0,and we have 0
zeros.

In the open loop transfer function,

G(s)H(s), we have n=3 finite poles,
and m=0 finite zeros, therefore we
have q=n-m=3 zeros at infinity.

Angle of asymptotes at odd multiples

of ±180°/q (i.e., ±60°, ±180°).

There exists 3 poles at s = 0, -2, -1,

...so sum of poles=-3.

There exists 0 zeros,

...so sum of zeros=0.
(Imaginary components of poles and
zeros, if any, cancel when
summed because they appear as
complex conjugate pairs.)

Asymptote intersect is at ( (sum of

poles)-(sum of zeros) )/q

This polynomial has 2 roots at s = -
