A nine-page electrical engineering exam focusing on circuit analysis and design. The exam covers topics such as biasing transistors, calculating voltage gains, and designing circuits to control leds using logic gates. Students are expected to use given values and assumptions to solve problems related to voltage drops, current flow, and resistance.

I pledge on my honor that I did not copy any of this exam, and that this work is entirely my own. Furthermore, I did not use PSpice during this exam.
Problem 1 (25 Points):
Source i (^) in is a small signal ac current source. Find the bias values of VCE and Vx. Assume that V (^) BE = 0. V and β = 100. Do not ignore base currents.
