The given polynomial function in the image is:

\[
y = -x^4 - 2x^3 + 3x^2 + 4x - 4
\]

It appears that the task asks to "determine the following" (though the specifics are not visible). Common tasks with polynomial functions like this might include determining:

1. The critical points (by finding the first derivative and setting it equal to zero)
2. Inflection points (using the second derivative)
3. Behavior at infinity (as \( x \to \infty \) and \( x \to -\infty \))
4. Zeros of the function (by solving \( y = 0 \))
5. Local maxima and minima

Could you clarify what you need to determine, or should I proceed with a general analysis of this polynomial function?

Let me know if you'd like further details or explanations!

Here are 5 related questions:
1. Would you like the first and second derivative of this function for critical points and inflection points?
2. Should I help you find the zeros of this polynomial by solving \( y = 0 \)?
3. Are you looking for the behavior of the function as \( x \to \infty \) and \( x \to -\infty \)?
4. Would you like to analyze the turning points and identify if they are maxima or minima?
5. Should I graph this polynomial function to visualize its behavior?

**Tip**: To find critical points, take the derivative and solve for when the slope (derivative) is zero, which will give potential maxima, minima, or saddle points.
