I understand the numerical derivations of the problem, up to the point in the solution where it says,
"A positive swing of 5.4V will result in saturation of the BJT."
"A negative swing of 4.6V will result in clipping of the output signal."
Since V_c = -5.4V (it's of negative value), does this mean in general that any transistor having a negative collector voltage is being driven into saturation?
What do they mean by "positive" and "negative" swings.
And I think the 4.6V comes from 10V-5.4V = 4.6V, correct?
