SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on determining the range of K for stability in a closed-loop control system represented by the transfer function G_{OL}(s) = 10/(s-5). The correct closed-loop transfer function is G_{CL}(s) = 10K/(s-5+10K). Stability is achieved when the condition -5 + 10K > 0 is satisfied, leading to the conclusion that K must be greater than 1/2. Clarifications regarding the definitions of G_{OL} and G_{CL} were requested to ensure accurate analysis.
