Answer Notes
This question requires calculating the absolute voltage gain of the inverting operational amplifier in Figure E7-3. The formula for the absolute gain magnitude is simply RF / R1.
First, convert the feedback resistor value to ohms: 47 kilohms becomes 47,000 ohms. The input resistor is given as 3,300 ohms.
Now, divide 47,000 by 3,300. The result is approximately 14.24, which is closest to the answer choice of 14.
