![Title: Sensitivity Analysis of Transfer Functions

**Problem 18: Sensitivity of T(s) with respect to parameter a**
We are tasked with finding the sensitivity of the transfer function T(s) with respect to the parameter a, given by:
\[
T(s) = \frac{N(s)}{D(s)} = \frac{s^2 + (1+a)s + 2}{s^3 + 2as^2 + 4s + 10a}
\]
**Options for the Sensitivity Function:**
(a) \(\frac{asD[s] - a(2s^2 + 10)N[s]}{N[s]D[s]}\)
(b) \(\frac{sD[s] - (2s^2 + 10)N[s]}{N[s]D[s]}\)
(c) \(\frac{aD[s] - aN[s]}{N[s]D[s]}\)
(d) \(\frac{sD[s] - sN[s]}{N[s]D[s]}\)
---
**Explanation:**
When analyzing the sensitivity of a transfer function, we determine how the function \( T(s) \) reacts to changes in system parameters—in this case, the parameter \( a \). The correct expression will accurately represent how variations in \( a \) influence \( T(s) \), using the derivative of both numerator and denominator with respect to \( a \).
This is a typical task involved in control systems engineering, aimed at understanding system stability and performance changes, forming a critical part of robust control design.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F5ecf1484-f95f-4119-9858-43c8382b92c0%2Ffb4940dd-a70c-4c35-ad5d-118dde273493%2F9prm8k_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
