Answer:

When x goes to negative infinity, y goes to positive infinity; when x goes to positive infinity, y goes to positive infinity.

Explanation:

The largest power of this function is 4, since the term is x^4. This means that the graph of the function will closely resemble a parabola.

Since the coefficient of x^4 is positive, that means that the parabola will resemble a smile.

The end behavior is when x goes to negative infinity, y goes to positive infinity; when x goes to positive infinity, y goes to positive infinity.

Hope this helps!
