1. Consider a system with transfer function

( s -1)( s + 2)
g ( s ) =
( s + 1)( s - 2)( s + 3)
Is it possible to change the transfer function to
s -1
g f ( s ) =
( s + 2)( s + 3)
by state feedback? Is the resulting system BIBO stable? Asymptotically stable? (10%)
2. Consider a system with transfer function
( s -1)( s + 2)
g ( s ) =
( s + 1)( s - 2)( s + 3)
Is it possible to change the transfer function to
1
g f ( s ) =
( s + 3)
by state feedback? Is the resulting system BIBO stable? Asymptotically stable? (10%)
