A voltage source of v(t) = 10 sin(1000t) V is connected to a load that is a parallel combination of a resistor, an inductor, and a capacitor. If R = 5 ohms , L = 5 mH , and C = 200 uF , determine the average power absorbed by the load.

so in my professor's online notes it states this
AVERAGE POWER ABSORBED BY A CAPACITOR IS ZERO FOR STEADY STATE PERIODIC OPERATION
and
AVERAGE POWER ABSORBED BY AN INDUCTOR IS ZERO FOR STEADY STATE PERIODIC OPERATION

if these statements are true then do I just disregard the L and C in the circuit? v(t) = 10sin(1000t)v and R = 5ohms

using ohms law calculate P=V^2/R = 20a. i already know this answer is wrong.

what am I leaving out?
