How is the degree of a polynomial related to the concept of complex numbers?

The amount of money, in dollars, in an account after t years is given by a = 1000(1.03)^t. the initial deposit into the account was $_^a0 and the interest rate was _a1% per year. only enter numbers in the boxes. do not include any commas or decimal points^t. the initial deposit into the account was $__^a0 and the interest rate is % per year.

Add the fractions and simplify 1/2+ 1/3

Icould really use some with this question.
