Those values of the complex variables 𝑠 for which 𝐺(𝑠) is zero are
called the zeros of 𝑮(𝒔).
Those values of the complex variables 𝑠 for which 𝐺(𝑠) is infinite are
called the poles of 𝑮(𝒔). (5)
Example:

Final Value Theorem:
If ℒ 𝑓 𝑡 = 𝐹(𝑠), 𝑓 (1) (𝑡) is Laplace transformable, and
𝑙𝑖𝑚𝑡→∞ 𝑓 𝑡 = 𝑓(∞) exists, then:

Mathematical Models:
Mathematical models may assume many different forms. Depending on
the particular system and the particular circumstances, one
mathematical model may be better suited than other models.
o For example, in optimal control problems, it is advantageous to use
state-space representations. On the other hand, for the transient-
response or frequency-response analysis of single-input, single-
output, linear, time-invariant systems, the transfer-function
representation may be more convenient than any other.
o Hence for the linear system, the response to several inputs can be
calculated by treating one input at a time and adding the results. It is
this principle that allows one to build up complicated solutions to
the linear differential equation from simple solutions.
