Question
**Calculate \( V_x \) and \( I_x \) in the following circuit, using approximation technique. Assume that the diode's forward bias voltage is \( V_{\text{ON}} = 0.7 \, \text{V} \) and the diode's reverse bias current is 0.**

**Diagram Explanation:**

The circuit consists of:

- A voltage source of \( +5 \, \text{V} \) connected in series with diode \( D1 \).
- Diode \( D1 \) has its anode connected to the \( +5 \, \text{V} \) source and its cathode connected to a node labeled \( V_x \).
- A resistor of \( 1 \, \text{K}\Omega \) is connected to the node \( V_x \), with its other end connected to ground. The current through this resistor is labeled \( I_x \).
- Diode \( D2 \) is connected with its anode at the node \( V_x \) and its cathode connected to a \( +10 \, \text{V} \) supply.

To calculate \( V_x \) and \( I_x \), use the given diodes' forward bias voltage and assume ideal behavior in reverse bias (current is 0).
