b) State matrix
c) Eigen vector
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Eigen values are the values that are obtained by solving the characteristic equation these are the roots of the characteristic equation.

5. The matrix constructed by placing the Eigen vectors together is diagonalizing matrix.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Eigen values are the values that are obtained by solving the characteristic equation these are the roots of the characteristic equation and the matrix constructed by placing the Eigen vectors together is diagonalizing matrix.

6. The diagonalizing matrix is also known as:
a) Eigen matrix
b) Modal matrix
c) Constant matrix
d) State matrix
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: The modal matrix is the matrix formed formed by placing the eigen values that is the roots of the characteristic equation and this is also known as the diagonalizing matrix.

8. Which of the following is exhibited by Root locus diagrams?
a) The poles of the transfer function for a set of parameter values
b) The bandwidth of the system
c) The response of a system to a step input
d) The frequency response of a system
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Root locus diagram is the diagram that is constructed in which the locus is traced with the gain with increasing frequency has the poles of the transfer function for a set of parameter values.
