a) To make Vo = 0 V at T = 20 °C, we can use the voltage divider formula:
Vo = Vin * R2 / (R1 + R2) - Vin * R3 / (Rs + R3)
Setting Vo = 0 V and substituting

Rs = 0.5T + 90 and T = 20 °C, we get:

0 = Vin * R2 / (R1 + R2) - Vin * R3 / (0.5*20 + 90 + R3)

Simplifying and solving for R2 and R3, we get:
R2 = 2R3
