Answers, explanations and/or solutions for each question

1. Compares the reference value of the variable condition being controlled with the
measured value of what is being achieved and produces an error signal. Determine
the following:

a) The term that was defined. (10 Points)

COMPARISON ELEMENT

2. It has the advantage of being relatively accurate in matching the actual value to
the required value. Determine the following:

a) The term that was defined. (10 Points)

CLOSED-LOOP SYSTEMS

S-DOMAIN SHIFTING PROPERTY

8. A man loans $10,000, part at 6% annual interest and the rest at 11%. The annual
total income from the loan is $625. Determine the following:

a) The amount of each loan. (7 Points)

b) Explain the concepts/principles that were considered and the factors that
affected the condition of item (a) (3 Points)

9. A man loans $4,000 at one interest rate and $5,000 at a 1% greater rate. The
$5,000 loan earns $110 more per year than the $4,000 loan earns. Determine the
following:
