Problems state that if Rf=Rin/# of inputs then Vo is ?

For an averaging amplifier, Rin is equal for all inputs and the formula for Vo is,
Vo = (-Rf)(Sum of Inputs/Rin) but since Rf = Rin/(# of inputs) then,
Vo = -(Rin/(# of inputs))((Sum of Inputs)/Rin), Rin would cancel and you would have,
Vo = -((Sum of Inputs)/(# of inputs)), which is basically an inverted(negative) average of the individual inputs.

Output is independent of Rf.

If the input is the average means the output also the average amount.

Since input impedance is very high, therefore, input current
is zero. OPAMP do not sink any current.

i(in)= i(f)
v(in) / R = - v(O) / R(f)
v(o) = - (Rf / R) v(in)
If R = Rf then v(O) = -v(in), the circuit behaves like an inverter.

It's a basically comparator which compare the zero of input signal and when he got zero then he trips from one state to another state.
