Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


upload_2018-12-3_22-25-13.png


I have posted the whole solution so it is more complete, but I really only need help with part c (I think)

My output power is higher than my input power, I'm not sure where I'm going wrong

I have no idea what the information regarding A, B, C and D means. Do they refer to a diagram or is this some standard notation for such problems?

I believe they refer to the ABCD-Parameters for a two port network:

I'm sorry but I can't make out your writing. You should type everything in unless you have particularly large and clear writing. You don't have to learn latex necessarily; click on the summation sign (upper case sigma) for lots of symbols.

You can solve for V1/I1 and V2/V1 with I2 = 0 in the post 3 equations to get all the answers.

Even then, it is hard making comments on lines of algebra in the middle of images (unless the equations are numbered in the image).
