The Attempt at a Solution


I am having trouble visualizing this. So I know that the phase margin is how much phase lag it would take to make -180 phase at the 0 dB gain frequency. I am just having trouble placing this on the plot. It isn't a homework question I am preparing for an exam. I would think the answer is 45 degrees ?

Notice that at 180 deg phase shift the gain is still > 0dB!

I'm not sure what I am supposed to looking at to figure this out then

If gain margin is negative, so must phase margin be, making what your answer?
So then my answer would be none of the above so it can be negative ?
