A system is said to be stable if all the poles of the transfer function lie within the unit circle. Otherwise the system is unstable.

\n

The poles of a transfer function are found by setting the denominator equal to zero and solving.

\n

Determine whether the system with the following transfer function is stable or unstable.

", "advice": "

To find the poles of a transfer function you must set the denominator to zero and solve.

This is a quadratic equation.
