The open loop transfer function of a process is K [{(s + 1) (s + 4)}/{(s + 2) (s + 3)}]. In the root locus diagram, the poles will be at ___________________?

Correct answer: C. -2, -3

  • A. -1, -4
  • B. 1, 4
  • C. -2, -3
  • D. 2, 3

Explanation

The poles are the roots of the denominator of the open-loop transfer function, so s = -2 and -3. The numerator roots, -1 and -4, are zeros and do not represent poles.
