Question 4c By introducing an additional pole 1/(s+alpha) to the system‚ The original transfer function G(s) has a DC gain of 1 and the additional pole has a DC gain of 1/alpha. Therefore‚ the new transfer function G1(s) has a DC gain of 1/alpha The DC gain of the new transfer function = 1/alpha . DC gain Is obtained by applying the final value theorem where limit of s goes to 0. Final value theorem can be applied as it is a stable system. Therefore the system has a larger DC gain when alpha
