Consider the transfer function G(s) = 1/[(s+1)^2(s+2)]. We use a PI compensator C(s)=(as+b)/s and close the feedback loop.

2.) At the border of instability, find the frequency of oscillations in terms of a.

3.) For what value of a, do we get the largest range of b for stability? What is this largest range?
