pick one 3i+5i. -8i. 8. 8i^2
Answered by GPT-4o mini
The sum \( 5i + 3i \) can be combined as follows:

\[
5i + 3i = (5 + 3)i = 8i
\]

So, the equivalent expression for the sum \( 5i + 3i \) is \( 8i \).

Therefore, the correct response is:

**8i**

The equivalent to the sum \( 5i + 3i \) is \( 8i \).

Among the options provided:

- \( 3i + 5i \) is equivalent but not simplified.
- \( -8i \) is incorrect.
- \( 8 \) is incorrect.
- \( 8i^2 \) is incorrect since \( i^2 = -1 \), making \( 8i^2 = -8 \).

So, the best choice from your options is **8i** (though not explicitly listed as such, \( 3i + 5i \) simplifies to \( 8i \)).
