q = 7.50 cm

h ʹ′ = −2.5 cm

Given
h = 5.0 cm
R = 10.0 cm
p = 15.0 cm

Solution
Since R = 10.0 cm, f = 5.00 cm.
1 1 1
Rearrange the mirror equation, + = , and solve for q.
p q f
1 1 1 1 1 3 1 2
= − = − = − =
q f p 5.00 cm 15.0 cm 15.0 cm 15.0 cm 15.0 cm

q = 7.50 cm

Since q is positive, the image is located 7.50 cm in front of the mirror.

h ʹ′ q
Solve the equation for magnification, M = = − , for h ʹ′.
h p
qh ( 7.50 cm ) ( 5.0 cm )
h ʹ′ = − =− = −2.5 cm
p ( 15.0 cm )

Since h ʹ′ is negative, the image is located belowthe principal axis.
