A system is described by the following state and output equations $$${{d{x_1}\left( t \right)} \over {dt}} = - 3{x_1}\left( t \right) + {x_2}\left( t \right) + 2u\left( t \right)$$$ $$${{d{x_2}\left( t \right)} \over {dt}} = - 2{x_2}\left( t \right) + u\left( t \right)$$$

$$y\left( t \right) = {x_1}\left( t \right)$$ when $$u(t)$$ is the input and $$y(t)$$ is the output

The system transfer function is

The state space equation of a system is described by $$\mathop X\limits^ \bullet = AX + BU,\,\,Y = Cx$$ where $$X$$ is state vector, $$U$$ is input, $$Y$$ is output and $$$A = \left( {\matrix{ 0 & 1 \cr 0 & { - 2} \cr } } \right)\,\,B = \left( {\matrix{ 0 \cr 1 \cr } } \right)\,\,C = \left[ {\matrix{ 1 & 0 \cr } } \right]$$$

The transfer function $$G(s)$$ of this system will be

The state space equation of a system is described by $$\mathop X\limits^ \bullet = AX + BU,\,\,Y = Cx$$ where $$X$$ is state vector, $$U$$ is input, $$Y$$ is output and $$$A = \left( {\matrix{ 0 & 1 \cr 0 & { - 2} \cr } } \right)\,\,B = \left( {\matrix{ 0 \cr 1 \cr } } \right)\,\,C = \left[ {\matrix{ 1 & 0 \cr } } \right]$$$

A unity feedback is provided to the above system $$G(s)$$ to make it a closed loop system as shown in figure.

For a unit step input $$r(t),$$ the steady state error in the input will be

A state variable system
$$\mathop X\limits^ \bullet \left( t \right) = \left( {\matrix{ 0 & 1 \cr 0 & { - 3} \cr } } \right)X\left( t \right) + \left( {\matrix{ 1 \cr 0 \cr } } \right)u\left( t \right)$$ with the initial condition $$X\left( 0 \right) = {\left[ { - 1\,\,3} \right]^T}$$ and the unit step input $$u(t)$$ has
