A digital thermometer employs a thermistor as thetemperature-sensing element. A thermistor is a kind ofsemiconductor and has a large negative temperature coefficient ofresistivity α. Suppose α = -0.0508(Co)-1 for the thermistor in a digitalthermometer used to measure the temperature of a patient. Theresistance of the thermistor decreases to 82.6% of its value at thenormal body temperture of 37.0 oC. What is the patient'stemperature?
This is just getting ridiculous. Please someone helpme.
