Stability of the system is:
A system is stable if and only if all terms in the zero‐input response go to 0 as t ; A system is unstable if and only if at least term in the zero‐input response grows without bound as t ; A system is marginally stable if and only if the zero‐input response remains bounded (e.g. oscillates
between lower and upper bounds) as t .
Use the following simulation to understand the relationship between the stability of the system and
location of the location of the poles in the s‐plane.
