Electronics for Measurement, Ch Transistors: a current controlled by a third terminal

Problem

V_{CC} = 12.0\,\mathrm{V}

. At its quiescent point the collector sits at

V_C = 7.0\,\mathrm{V}

and the emitter at

V_E = 2.0\,\mathrm{V}

. Take the transistor's saturation voltage as

V_{CE(\rm sat)} = 0.2\,\mathrm{V}

(the boundary of the active region). Find the largest symmetric, unclipped peak swing available at the collector.
