An amplifier with resistive negative feedback has two left half-plane poles in its open-loop transfer function. The amplifier

The number of roots of $$s^3\;+\;5s^2\;+\;7s\;+\;3\;=\;0$$ in the left half of the s-plane are

The open loop transfer function of a unity feedback open-loop system is $$\frac{2s^2+6s+5}{\left(s+1\right)^2\left(s+2\right)}$$. The characteristic equation of the closed loop system is
