apply the distributive property to generate an expression equivalent to 8 ( 3 + j ). A 11 + 8j. B 24 + j. C 24 + 8j. D 24 - j.

1 answer

To apply the distributive property, you need to distribute the 8 to both terms inside the parentheses:

8 (3 + j) = 8 * 3 + 8 * j

This simplifies to:

24 + 8j

So the correct answer is option C: 24 + 8j.
