As many as you like. The highest power of the variable in question (usually x) defines the degree of the polynomial. If the degree is n, the polynomial can have n+1 terms. (If there are more then the polynomial can be reduced.) But there is NO LIMIT to the value of n.
The standard form of a polynomial of degree n is anxn + an-1xn-1 + ... + a1x + a0 where the ai are constants.
A polynomial is a function which can take the form: f(x) = sum(a_n * x^n) where n is a nonnegative integer. 0 is the constant function which can be represented in the form above by taking a_n = 0 for all n.
m *n (m multiplied by n) would be mn.
First off, it is NOT A QUINTIC! Typically a polynomial of four or more terms is called "a polynomial of n terms", where n is the number of terms. Only the one, two, and three term polynomials are referred to by a particular naming convention.
