R-H range of K for K(s+13)/[s(s+3)(s+7)]
Short answer
Characteristic equation: s³+10s²+(21+K)s+13K=0. Routh array requires K>0 from s⁰ row and (210−3K)/10>0 from s¹ row, giving K<70. The system is stable for 0 < K < 70.
Apply RH criteria to determine the range of 'K' for which a unity feedback system with G(s) = K(s+13)/[s(s+3)(s+7)] will be stable.
For unity feedback, the closed-loop characteristic equation is . The system is stable when the first column of the Routh array has no sign change.

- From the row:
Marginal stability
At the row vanishes. Auxiliary equation:
So at the system oscillates at 9.54 rad/s, and for two poles move into the RHP.
Answer: the system is stable for .
