Vx = (3RCRB - 15RERB)/(RERB + RERC +RCRB) = 1.22V. The voltage must be between 0 and 3V and not
negative for the transistor to be on. All three terminals are at the same voltage in the “blob of solder”
model. The current are: iE = 1.78 mA; iC =1.62 mA; 0.163 mA;
The forced beta under these conditions is iC /iB = 10.13 so the transistor is well into saturation.
The value of RB that just creates the onset of saturation or linear operation is for iB = 16.20 µA;
Therefore RB = Vx /iB = 75308.64 or 75k.
