Answer:
There are 24 squares in the entire rectangle
Step-by-step explanation:
Trom the problem, we are given that one row covers 1/8 of the entire rectangle.
We are also told that this one row, contains three squares.
In other words, what this means is that three squares cover 1/8 of the entire rectangle.
The question is now if three squares cover only 1/8 of the rectangle, how many squares cover the whole rectangle.
In fraction, we can represent a whole using 1/1
We can set up a simple relation to this effect.
3 squares give 1/8 of the rectangle
x squares give 1/1 of the rectangle
cross multiplying, we have
x = 3 ÷(1/8) = 24
Therefore, there are 24 squares in the entire rectangle
the function is clearly approaching 5, while from the right 
it is approaching -2.
