Question
Consider a linear time-invariant system whose input r(t) and output y(t) are related by the following differential equation:
The poles of this system are at
Options :
+2, -2
+4, -4
+2j, -2j
+4j, -4j
Answer :
+2j, -2j
Solution :
Given the differential equation is,
By applying the Laplace transform,
s2 Y(s) + 4 Y(s) = 6 R(s)
Poles are the roots of the denominator in the transfer function.
⇒ s2 + 4 = 0
⇒ s = ±2j
