Haha, I wasn't going to spend hours on that system of equations.
Thank God for Wolfram Alpha!
solved it in 1 second
http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%281%2Fx%29%2B%281%2Fy%29%3D%281%2F40%29%2C+%28%28-y%29%2Fx%29%3D4so x=30
and y=-120
nice :)
Well I'm attempting to first fill in the equations that I have with as much data as possible.
Also, I forgot to add in another equation. m= -di/do
So I now have
(1/do)+(1/di)= 1/40
and since the magnification is 4x ("four times the size of the object")
I have 4= -di/do
what now?
So I originally posted a thread for my optics homework listing every question from a worksheet AND my attempts. Apparently, it's seen as spam so I have tried and am now posting the second question.
Homework Statement
A concave mirror has a focal length of 40 cm. Determine the object...
So I got a warning for just posting questions so I'll do as best as I can to try and put effort lol
