MCQ Practice Question

The final-value theorem is not valid for a response whose sF(s) has?

AAll poles strictly in the left-half plane
BA pole in the right-half plane
CNo finite poles
DOnly negative real poles

Correct Answer: B. A pole in the right-half plane

Explanation: A right-half-plane pole produces a growing mode, so the response does not approach a finite final value and the final-value theorem cannot be used in its standard form.
