The characteristic equation of a control system is given by s6+2s5+8s4+12s3+20s2+16s+16=0 . The number of the roots of the equation which lie on the imaginary axis of s-plane: Correct Answer 4

The stability analysis is done using Routh-Hurwitz criterion and hence the number of roots on the right is calculated.
