At this point, we know that the loci begin at the points marked X (the poles
of 𝑳 𝒔 ), and that they go either to the points marked O (the zero of 𝑳 𝒔 ) or
they go to infinity approaching the radial asymptotes.

Control System I 5.2.2 Summary of the Rules for Determining a Root Locus
RULE 1: Mark an x on the s-plane for each pole and an o for each zero. The
n branch of the locus start at each pole of L(s) and end on the zeros of L(s).
RULE 2: The loci on the real axis to the left of an odd number of pole plus
zero.
RULE 3: For large s and K, n – m branches of the loci are asymptotic to
lines at angle radiating out from the center s = on the real axis, where

It means that when K = 256, the root locus crosses the s = jω axis and the
closed-loop system has a pair of roots on the RHP, which will cause the
system unstable.

Control System I
Determine the arrival angle from a point of multiple roots
Some case of multiple roots:
1) Two locus segments coming toward each other on the real axis will
always breakaway at 90 .
2) Two locus segments coming together at any point in the s-plane
will always approach at a relative angle of 180° and then breakaway
with 90 change in direction.
3) Three locus segments coming together will always approach at 120°
angles with respect to each other and then depart at the 120° angles
that are rotated 60° relative to the arrival angles.
