Problem $05\mathrm{.}028-$DEPENDENT MULTI$-$PART PROBLEM $-$ ASSIGN ALL PARTS

NOTE: This is a multi$-$part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. Consider the given network, where $\backslash ($ V$\_\{$x$\}=4\mathrm{.}6\backslash$mathrm$\{$~V$\}\backslash ).$

Problem $05\mathrm{.}028.$a$-$Finding the Thevenin equivalent by calculating the short circuit current and open circuit voltage.

Determine the Th$$venin equivalent of the circuit depicted by first finding $\backslash ($ V$\_\{$O C$\}\backslash )$ and $\backslash ($ I$\_\{$S C$\}\backslash )($defined as flowing into the positive reference terminal of $\backslash ($ V$\_\{\backslash$text $\{$od $\}\}\backslash )).($You must provide an answer before moving on to the next part.$)$

The Thevenin equivalent of the circuit is

$*\backslash (\backslash$vee $\backslash )$ and$\backslash (\backslash$Omega $\backslash ).$
