A system stability analysis (the range at which a controller makes a system stable) is demonstrated with a root locus plot in MATLAB.

This example problem demonstrates how to solve for a closed-loop transfer function and determine the values of a controller gain that will maintain stability. The results are confirmed with a MATLAB root locus plot.

It defines parabola as the locus of a point, and defines the associated terms. Derive the standard Cartesian equation of parabola and associated terms. Determine the symmetry.

It provides solved problems based on co-linearity of points, proving the coordinates to be the vertices of a geometrical figure and on finding locus.

If you've ever played with a ouija board, you might have gotten the spooky sensation of an other worldly presence. But really, that's just your brain playing tricks on you.
