Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: 0.23 to 0.25

Explanation

The transfer function is the Laplace transform of the impulse response. Its sine and cosine terms give $G(s)=5/[(s+2)^2+25]+(s+2)/[(s+2)^2+25]$.

At s=0, DC gain is (5+2)/(4+25)=**7/29≈0.241379**, in 0.23–0.25. This is also the integral of the impulse response over nonnegative time.
