 First-Order System Response:

My UoB no is 09016468

So a=4, b=6 and c=8

Exercise 1.1:

for α = 4

>> num=[1];

>> den=[1 4];

>> G1=tf(num,den)

Transfer function:

-----

s+4

for α = 6

>> den=[1 6];

>> G2=tf(num,den)

Transfer function:

-----

s+6

for α = 8

>> den=[1 8];

>> G3=tf(num,den)

Transfer function:

-----

s+8

 Ramp Response

To get the ramp response of the system denominator is multiplied by s and then step
response is taken to get ramp.

for α = 4

>> num=[1];

>> den=[1 4 0];

>> G1=tf(num,den)

Transfer function:

---------

s^2 + 4 s

for α = 6

>> den=[1 6 0];

>> G2=tf(num,den)

Transfer function:

---------

s^2 + 6 s

for α = 8

>> den=[1 8 0];

>> G2=tf(num,den)

Transfer function:

---------

s^2 + 8 s

for α = 4

1
𝐺1(𝑠) =
𝑠+4
Yss = 1/4 = 0.25;

for α = 6

1
𝐺2(𝑠) =
𝑠+6
Yss = 1/6 = 0.166;

for α = 8

1
𝐺3(𝑠) =
𝑠+8
Yss = 1/8 = 0.125;
Exercise 1.4:

α(Alpha) Yss (Calculated) Yss (from Graph) Stability

4 0.25 0.25 Stable

6 0.166 0.167 Stable

8 0.125 0.125 Stable

Yes the values of graph agrees with the value of Yss in exercise 1.3

Exercise 1.5:

As we can see in the above figure of step response that each value of α, the system
has got its steady state. If the system got its steady state it means the system is
stable for that value of alpha (α).
So the system is stable for all three values of alpha (α).
Exercise 1.6:

for α = -0.5

>> num=[1];

>> den=[1 -.5];

>> G1=tf(num,den)

Transfer function:

-------

s - 0.5

for α = -1.0

>> den=[1 -1];

>> G2=tf(num,den)

Transfer function:

-----
