Consider the generic feedback loop, and the transfer function $G(s)$ shown by the following root locus plot.
Where $\mathbf{x}$ denotes the open-loop poles and $\square$ denotes the closed loop poles.
I want to determine if this root-locus produces any of the following output responses to a unit step reference signal:
Attempt:
I attempted to build the open loop transfer function:
$$G_{OL} = \frac{K}{s^2+2s+2}$$ Find the value $K$ using the FVT for the step response and graph a) $$\lim_{s\to 0} = s\cdot\frac{1}{s}\frac{K}{s^2+2s+2} = 1$$ which gives $K = 2$, plug this back in and see if the step response matches any of the figures. It is possible none of the figures match, but I think I am doing something incorrect.
Root locus shows all the possibilities of K, but I am also given the closed loop poles. Can I use those to get K? Is the unit step response in relation to the Closed Loop Transfer Function? or the open loop? I can see that building the connection between the graphs is important, I seem to be missing something though. Thanks!
Edit/Update
I believe the corresponding Step Response Graph is C) but I'm still uncertain on if I followed the right process: Finding the closed-loop transfer function I get $$G_{CL} = \frac{K}{s^2+2s + 2 + K}$$ Applying FVT to graph C I get $K = 3$, which makes $$G_{CL} = \frac{3}{s^2+2s + 5}$$ and plotting the unit step response with Matlab gives C). What if I didn't have access to Matlab? Is there an easier way? Is it sufficient to match the closed loop poles after I determine $K$?
