AI Thread Summary
To solve the circuit problem, start by applying the superposition principle, particularly focusing on the two voltage sources present. Redraw the circuit to include input and output impedances outside the op-amp, assigning a gain of 300,000 to the op-amp. Analyze the circuit using Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) or by applying the sum of currents equals zero. This approach will help identify the three key nodes: vn, vo, and vg, while accounting for the voltage drop across the output impedance. Following these steps will lead to a correct and simplified expression based on ideal op-amp theory.

I'm not sure where to start with this problem.
Edit: Sorry for using this site for help so much, I just have midterms coming up soon and need to get practise problems solved and I don't have money for a tutor.

My recommendation: Start with your handwritten drawing and apply the existing basic rules for analyzing a network that contains two voltage sources: Superposition.
This procedure will lead you to the correct result.
Finally, you can check your result by setting (a) the open-loop gain to infinite, (b) the input resistance to infinite and (c) the output resistance to zero.
Then, you must arriove at a simple expression that is known from the theory of IDEAL opamp applications.
 
Hint:
Redraw the circuit with input and output impedances OUTSIDE the op amp. Give the op amp itself a gain of 300,000.
If you do this right you will wind up with three nodes: vn, vo and vg plus of course the input voltage. vo is the op amp output voltage which will differ from vg since there will be a drop across the 5K output impedance.
Use standard KVL or sum of currents = 0.
