Your answers for the first page are correct.

I will continue to look at the others and edit this post accordingly.

EDIT:

The answers on the 2nd page are also correct.

EDIT:

For question number 3,

After using the thevenin equivalent we can write a KVL in the base-emitter loop,

$-V_{th} + I_{b}R_{in(base)} + 0.7 + I_{e}R_{e} = 0$

$\rightarrow I_{c} = \frac{V_{th} - 0.7}{\frac{R_{in(base)}}{\beta} + \frac{R_{e}}{\alpha}}$ where $\alpha = \frac{\beta}{\beta + 1}$

This gives me,

$I_{c} = 1.37 mA$

The rest follows from here.

I haven't studied MOSFETS yet, but perhaps I'll take a look and get back to you.

EDIT: For question 4,

This is the typical arrangement for biasing using a drain-to-gate feedback resistor. The large feedback resistance forces the DC voltage at the gate to be equal to that at the drain (Ig = 0).

Thus,

$V_{gs} = V_{ds} = V_{dd} - R_{d}I_{d}$

If V1 is non zero(as you've indicated) then certainly Id is nonzero as well.

Hope this helps!

Yours answers look good except question number 3. And jegues has done the good job to show you the right solution.

first,thanks jegues and Jony130 very much for helping me !
I have some questions about Rin(base) in question 3.
1-Does Rin(base) mean R(th) ?
2-In my study book,it shows me that if the following condition be ture,it will take the approximation.
"If βRE>>RTH, then IE=(VTH-VBE)/RE"
so, does my answer still be wrong?

Well, i don't know, maybe yes or maybe not.
I don't have your book.
Maybe they define Rin(base) as
Rin(base) = R(th)|| (β+1)*Re = 103.83KΩ

Rin(base) = R(th) = R1||R2 = 2.83KΩ
But which value for Ie your Professor will be preferred.
The exact one, or approximate value ?

Rin(base) means the input resistance looking into the base.

I believe it turns out to be what you have called Rth.

I'm not sure where your book is getting that, I would lean more towards my solution.

KVL has no if/ands/or/buts, in this situation atleast!

Maybe I'm pick on but if you looking into the base.
Then for sure you will see R1||R2 || (β+1)Re.

Hmmm... I'm not sure what you would call it then, but I'm fairly sure the intention was for it to be R1//R2.

This resistance value is commonly denoted as RBB in certain textbooks, and likewise the resulting thevenin source, VBB.

Are you sure you don't mean ....??

R1||R2||(β+1)Re

Yes, my mistake.
And thanks for correct my stupid mistake
