Sol'n: Apply the final value theorem:
We first factor out the highest power of s from the numerator and denominator and cancel out as many powers of s as possible:
If there are pure powers of s remaining in the numerator or denominator, we may immediately conclude that the answer is zero or infinity, respectively.
Otherwise, as in the present case, we proceed to substitute s = 0 in the numerator and denominator to obtain our final result:
