E) No clue

A) it is a 4 bit combination

E) see (A)

As for B,C & D you will have to do some math to figure out what Vs is. It is not necessarily a binary - decimal conversion. The formula for Vs is pretty much given in the question B.

For E:

would it just be:
0000
0001
0010
...
1111
?

And B: Not sure what formula?

C: Would it just be sin(w*f*t) = sin(4000*f*t)

so, w*f*t = 4000*f*t

and so f = 2000hz?

This will be a job for the superposition theorem. Just Google superposition theorem. And you will get a lot of hits that will be helpful. Since the network is resistive. The vout will be Vs multiplied with a constant regardless of vs is DC or AC. Assuming ideal components

As the title of your thread states, it is a summing amplifier. So the output is the sum of all the inputs that are energized. And the gain for each input to output is just the feedback resistor divided by the input resistor. For those values of resistors give all the gains are less than one.

another simpler way to look at it: whatever input paths are connected to the source signal, puts those source resistors in parallel. Combine them to get an equivalent source resistor value and then the gain equation is simple.
