−s3 + 4s − 7
X(s) =
s3 − 2s + 4
solution: To solve this problem first notice that the degree of the polynomial in the denominator and the numerator
is the same (3rd degree) and therefore we will get a divisor if we divide these fractions. We can write
−s3 + 4s − 7 −(s3 − 2s + 4) − 2s + 4 + 4s − 7 2s − 3

Problem 7. What is the shortcoming of transfer functions as a way to model systems? solution: Transfer functions
are defined as the Laplace transform of the output of a system divide by the Laplace transform of the input of the
system. So if both numerator and the denominator have the same term (let’s say s − 5) then because we have an
algebraic relationship the term in the numerator and the denominator will simplify. But that is not good because
the actual physical system has features that the pole and zero we simplify are supposed to model. So our model is
removing some useful information about the system.

solution: Notice that the dimensions of these matrices, respectively, are 2 × 2 and 1 × 2. Therefore we cannot
multiply them!
