What will be the output voltage of the circuit shown in Figure E7-3 if R1 is 1,000 ohms, RF is 10,000 ohms, and 0.23 volts DC is applied to the input?

Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: D. -2.3 volts
Gain = -RF / R1 = -10,000 / 1,000 = -10. Vout = -10 x 0.23 V = -2.3 V; the minus sign is because the amplifier inverts.
Tip: Inverting amp: multiply and flip the sign.
