The first column of a Routh array is

How many roots of the corresponding characteristic equation are in left half s-plane?
2
3
4
5
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Total number of roots is 5. Since two sign changes in first column, two roots are in right half plane.

Hence 3 roots in left half plane.

Yes, it's three as total poles are 5 and two are in right, so 3 are in left.

There are only two sign changes hence 2 roots in the left half of s-plane the how option B is correct can you explain it in detail?

Highest power of s in characteristic equation decides the no of roots. Here it is 5. Also, sign change one time from positive to negative and then again from negative to positive hence it will change twice. So 5-2 =3 is equal to left half poles.

I think it is wrong, because in the routh array there is only one sign change.

How we came to know the number of roots? Please explain.
