ENGR202 (old spec) Control 3.6 Block Diagram Analysis, rule 1 and rule 2 examples (slides 10-13)

Reduce each pair of blocks in series to a single Transfer Function from $U$ to $X$ , and give its steady state gain.

Formulas you may need

Series rule: $X = G_1(s)G_2(s)U$ (learn this)

(a)
A gain of 5 followed by $\dfrac{0.8}{5s + 1}$ .
steady state gain =
(b)
$\dfrac{1}{s + 2}$ followed by $\dfrac{0.8}{5s + 1}$ .
steady state gain =
