Solution Steps

Step 1: Determine the End Behavior of the Function

The function given is \( g(x) = -x^4 + 5x^2 - 4 \). This is a polynomial function of degree 4 with a leading coefficient of -1.

For polynomial functions, the end behavior is determined by the leading term. Since the leading term is \(-x^4\), which is a negative even power, the end behavior is:

  • As \( x \to -\infty \), \( g(x) \to -\infty \).
  • As \( x \to \infty \), \( g(x) \to -\infty \).

Final Answer

The end behavior of the function is \(\boxed{-\infty}\) to the left and \(\boxed{-\infty}\) to the right.
