Question

Consider a linear time-invariant system whose input r(t) and output y(t) are related by the following differential equation:

d 2 y ( t ) d t 2 + 4 y ( t ) = 6 r ( t )

The poles of this system are at

Options :

  1. +2, -2

  2. +4, -4

  3. +2j, -2j

  4. +4j, -4j

Show Answer

Answer :

+2j, -2j

Solution :

Given the differential equation is,

d 2 y ( t ) d t 2 + 4 y ( t ) = 6 r ( t )

By applying the Laplace transform,

s2 Y(s) + 4 Y(s) = 6 R(s)

Y ( s ) R ( s ) = 6 s 2 + 4

Poles are the roots of the denominator in the transfer function.

⇒ s2 + 4 = 0

⇒ s = ±2j
