It would fall to the left and fall to the right

Explanation:

End behaviour of a function is decided by the sign of its leading term. The leading term here is -6x^2. It would always be negative whether x is positive or negative. That means, as x approaches +oo or -oo, f(x) would always be negative. So, f(x) would fall to the left and also fall to the right in the interval (-oo, +oo)
