Introduction
When we have more than one stage of amplification, we say it
is multistage amplifier. Look at the following diagram:

The bypass capacitor Cs is considered to be large enough so as to short out the Re.
Rb -> Parallel combinations of R1 and R2
Ry -> Rc
Ri -> Input resistance of the next stage amplifier.

This above circuit can be rearranged for its Thevenin’s equivalent circuit for its
Cutoff 3-dB point.
From the above figure, it can be concluded that the frequency for which we get the
cutoff is:
