Note that:
VG = VGS +VS
Thus, we can add the results of the previous two steps to find
the required value of the gate voltage VG .

To set the gate voltage to this value, we must select the proper
values of resistors R1 and R2 .

Recall that:
Thus, use equations (1), (2), (3), and (4) to determine the
standard DC bias design (i.e., R1 , R2, RS , and RD ) for MOSFET
amplifiers.
