Amplifier biasing?

Do we need to know how amplifier biasing works? If so can someone give me an idea of what it is.

I'm not completely sure.

But it's basically when an amplifier is operated at an input voltage that is at the centre of the linear region of a Vout/Vin graph. That central point is known as the quiescent point. This ensures that there's a maximum peak-to-peak input range to be amplified without distortion ( so away from the cut-off and saturation regions.) So for example if it's a sound wave, it minimises the chances of clipping to occur and hence distortion-free sound.

I hope that helps, and hopefully my definition is accurate.
