Hint on how to solve ex 2: assume that the system is observable, and try an argument by contradiction. If the controller makes the system unstable, then the corresponding matrix \( \tilde{A}=A-BK\) must have an eigenvalue with positive real part, to which corresponds a certain eigenvector \(v\). Writing down the algebraic Riccati equation with \( \tilde{A}\), and pre-post multiplying by the unstable eigenvector (as if you were evaluating a quadratic form), you will see that the only case in which the corresponding form can be zero is only if P=0 and \(v^* Q_v v\) is zero. Which contradicts the initial assumption.
