S(squared) = is S x10 to the power 2 Kd.S(squared) It can be written as (Kd + 1) S(squared) I want to know how to go between these two ways of writing the same result. I thought of writing it as Kd . S . S (1) (Kd + 1) . S (2) Going from (1) to (2) doesn't make sense to me; can you explain? If oyu want the background to this question, it's here: Last edited by skipjack; November 12th, 2015 at 04:30 AM.

The problem in the denominator is $\displaystyle s(s - 2) + K_ds^2 + K_ps + K_i$. Collecting the s^2 terms: $\displaystyle s^2 + K_ds^2 = s^2(1 + K_d)$. I want to make it clear: $\displaystyle K_d s^2 \neq (K_d + 1)s^2$ unless s = 0. -Dan

Seeing as that's what I'm trying to tell you I'm happy to agree.

Am I correct?
