You have to identify the highest power in the function. This power as the x value approaches positive and negative infinity will over power all the other degrees of x. For example 10,000^4 is much large than 10,000^3
This will make -6x^4 our only concern, the rest is a distraction.
A positive exponent makes the end behavior in the same direction, but since the coefficient is negative the function sinks on both sides.
