Final answer:

For the number 5i, the value of a is 0 and the value of b is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the imaginary number 5i can be written as a complex number in the form a + bi, where a is the real part and b is the imaginary part.

For 5i, the real part (a) is 0 and the imaginary part (b) is 5.

So the correct answer is option 3) A = 0 and B = 5.
