  1. Identify Leading Terms: Identify the leading terms in the numerator and the denominator of the function f(x)=x4+6x2+4x3x5+x48f(x) = \frac{-x^4 + 6x^2 + 4x}{-3x^5 + x^4 - 8}.
  2. Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression by focusing on the leading terms to find the end behavior as xx approaches infinity and negative infinity.
  3. Analyze End Behavior: Analyze the simplified expression as xx approaches infinity (xx \rightarrow \infty) and negative infinity (xx \rightarrow -\infty).
