Problem 3: tell how many closed loop poles are located in the right half-plane, in the left half-plane, and on the jω-
axis. Notice that there is positive feedback. (10 pts)

Answer:

Problem 4: find the range of K for which there will be only two closed-loop, right-half-plane poles. (10 pts)

Answer:
Problem 5: For the transfer function below, find the constraints on K1 and K2 such that the function will have only
two jω poles. (10 pts)

Answer:

Problem 6: Determine the range of K1 in order for the system to be stable. What is the relationship between K1 and
K2 for stability in this closed-loop transfer function? (10 pts)
