Which of the following are the features of the breakaway point in the root-locus of a closed loop control system with the characteristic equation 1 + KG₁(s) H₁(s) = 0?
1. It need not always occur only on the real axis.
2. At this point G₁(s) H₁(s) = 0
3. At this point $$\frac{{{\text{dK}}}}{{{\text{ds}}}} = 0$$
