That varies from polynomial to polynomial. Whatever the highest exponent is is called the "degree", so a quadratic like x2 + 2x + 8 has degree 2.

What it the largest exponent of a polynomial?
the largest exponent of a polynomial is 2 good luck on NovaNet peoples
If the coefficient of the expression ax is in fraction and the exponent is positive the expression will be a polynomial?
Not necessarily. If the exponent is not an integer then it is not a polynomial.
Can a polynomial have a variable exponent?
No. An expression can have a variable exponent (for instance, 2 to the power x, or x to the power y), but that is no longer a polynomial.
What are quadratic polynomial quartic polynomial constant polynomial and quintic polynomial?
Those words refer to the degree, or highest exponent that modifies a variable, or the polynomial.Constant=No variables in the polynomialLinear=Variable raised to the first powerQuadratic=Variable raised to the second power (or "squared")Cubic=Variable raised to the third power (or "cubed")Quartic=Variable raised to the fourth powerQuintic=Variable raised to the fifth powerAnything higher than that is known as a "6th-degree" polynomial, or "21st-degree" polynomial. It all depends on the highest exponent in the polynomial. Remember, exponents modifying a constant (normal number) do not count.
If the coefficient of the expression axn is a fraction and the exponent is positive will the expression be a polynomial?
Not necessarily. Every exponent in the exponent must be a non-negative integer. This is not what you have specified. For example, if n = 3.5, it is not a term in a polynomial expression.
What is the meaning degree of polynomial?
The degree of a polynomial is the highest exponent on any independent variable in the polynomial.
The degree of a polynomial is the what exponent?
highest total of the exponents
What is the degree of a polynomial having more than 1 term but with different variables?
The degree of a polynomial is the highest exponent in the polynomial.
What is the classification of terms according to number and degree?
the degree of polynomial is determined by the highest exponent its variable has.
How is the degree of a simplified polynomial found?
The degree of a polynomial is equal to the highest degree of its terms. In the case that there is no exponent, the degree is 1. If there is no variable, the degree is 0.

If the coefficient of the expression ax is in fraction and the exponent is positive the expression will be a polynomial?
Not necessarily. If the exponent is not an integer then it is not a polynomial.
When is an algebraic expression considered as a non-polynomial expression?
An expression is non polynomial if it has : negative exponent fractional exponent variable exponent in the radicand
Can a polynomial have a negative exponent?
Polynomials cannot have negative exponent.
What is the degree of the polynomial 5x5 plus 8x2 plus 2x - 3x9 - 8x4 - 4x5?
Ninth degree. Nine is the highest exponent.
Can a polynomial have a variable exponent?
No. An expression can have a variable exponent (for instance, 2 to the power x, or x to the power y), but that is no longer a polynomial.
