Consider a closed-loop control system with unity negative feedback and KG(s) in the forward path, where the gain K = 2. The complete Nyquist plot of the transfer function G(s) is shown in the figure. Note that the Nyquist contour has been chosen to have the clockwise sense. Assume G(s) has no poles on the closed right-half of the complex plane. The number of poles of the closed-loop transfer function in the closed right-half of the complex plane is ___________.

The number and direction of encirclements around the point −1 + j0 in the complex plane by the Nyquist plot of G(s) =$${{1 - s} \over {4 + 2s}}$$ is

A closed-loop control system is stable if the Nyquist plot of the corresponding open-loop transfer function

The popular plot of the transfer function G(s)=$${{10\left( {s + 1} \right)} \over {\left( {s + 10} \right)}}$$ for $$0 \le \omega < \infty $$ will be in the
