Homework Statement


A body is positioned 40 cm from the left of a lens (f=30) and the lens is positioned 100cm left of a convex mirror (|R|=60), where will be the image and what type and magnitude will it have?


Homework Equations


1/u + 1/v = 1/f


The Attempt at a Solution


I tried to calculate the image after the lens - and got v = 120 cm.

Now, I don't know how to interpret the answer.
Can anyone help me out on this?

Thanks

The convex mirror interrupt the rays to form the real image.
So (120 - 100) = 20 cm becomes the virtual object distance for the convex mirror. Now proceed.
 
That's my problem, now it is considered concave?
