A unity negative feedback system has the open-loop transfer function $$$G\left(s\right)\;=\;\frac K{s\left(s\;+\;1\right)\left(s\;+\;3\right)}$$$ The value of the gain K (>0) at which the root locus crosses the imaginary axis is _________.

The forward path transfer function of a unity negative feedback system is given by $$$G\left(s\right)\;=\;\frac k{\left(s\;+\;2\right)\left(s\;-\;1\right)}$$$ The value of K which will place both the poles of the closed-loop system at the same location, is ______.

A polynomial $$f\left(x\right)\;=\;a_4x^4\;+\;a_3x^3\;+\;a_2x^2\;+\;a_1x\;-\;a_0$$ with all coefficients positive has
