"Transfer Function" order of numerator > order of denominator...?

I have a homework problem in which I am given a "transfer function" of "s" and another of "2s." How would I model that in Simulink. I am looking for a substitute since the order of the denominator is less than the order of the numerator. I realize that is really odd, but that's the given in the problem... Please help!

Thanks!! Jeremy

If the expression cannot be easily factored by hand, then if you have the Symbolic Toolbox, you can try to use factor()

syms s
Num = s^2+2*s+1;
Den = s+1;
factor(Num/Den)
