P 6.4-21 The circuit shown in Figure P 6.4-21 has three inputs: v1, v2, and v3. The output of the circuit is vo. The output is related to the inputs by

vo = av1 + bv2 + cv3

where a, b, and c are constants. Determine the values of a, b, and c.

Annotating this circuit so we can work through it.

We can see the currents add

 

From op-amp rules we can see that

 

Current  can be found by first finding

 

 

Using the value of  , we can write

So we know

Now  can be written

 

 

Now we find

 

 

Now we get  by using voltage division.  Since the series circuit touching the non-inverting input has two 20 k resistors, we can see

 

 

 

 

Next find  , but first get

 

Solving for

 

Then  can be found from

 

 

Finally  can be found from

 

 

 

Multiply by -120 k
