To calculate the Thevenin/Norton equivalent resistance, we "switch off" all independent sources (i.e. replace all voltage sources with a short circuit and replace all current sources with an open circuit) then calculate the resistance seen from the port.
With all independent sources set to zero, we are left with the following network: Between the two nodes, the resistance is R 1 ∣ ∣ R 2 + R 3 = 4 . 2 5 5 9 3 2 2 0 3 3 8 9 8 3 . . .
