Hi all,

I tried to plot the pole-zero of the function 1/(s^2 + 2s + 1) by zplane([1], [1 2 1]). How come there are two zeros at 0+0j ? What do I missed?


Thanks,

I am not familiar with that function, and I cannot explain why the zeros
would appear at 0+0j, but notice that 1/(s^2 + 2*s + 1) is 1/(s+1)^2 .
It is thus to be expected that there is a double zero at the same
position, leading to a double pole at that position -- but I would
expect those pole to be -1+0j .
