For an LTI system, the zeos and poles are defined in the z plane. How to add additional poles and zeroes so LTI system is real valued?
The question already has a zero and a pole in the complex plane. It is asking to add additional zero and pole so LTI becomes zero valued.
zeros=-1/2 + 1/2 i , poles = -1/3 -1/3 i .
