Gain crossover frequency is in

.
The gain crossover frequency is

. The phase's frequency is:
The phase margin is:
The phase crossover frequency is obtained from this equation:
We obtain

.
We replace the frequency in the following equation:
We obtain a gain margin of 12.08dB
Because the gain and phase margins are positive, the system is stable.
