What is the equivalent resistance between points a and b in FIGURE EX28.27?

It seems hard to justify spending for a compact fluorescent lightbulb when an ordinary incandescent bulb costs . To see if this makes sense, compare a incandescent bulb lasting hours to a compact fluorescent bulb having a lifetime of hours. Both bulbs produce the same amount of visible light and are interchangeable. If electricity costs , what is the total cost—purchase plus energy— to obtain hours of light from each type of bulb? This is called the life-cycle cost.
Two of the three resistors in FIGURE EX28.22 are unknown but equal. The total resistance between pointsisis . What is the value of ?
