Exercise with convergent and divergent lenses

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the distance between the A1B1 object and its A2'B2' image using convergent and divergent lenses. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding the lens formula and magnification concepts to accurately perform these calculations. The discussion highlights the application of geometric optics principles in real-world scenarios, particularly in educational settings.

Homework Statement
Hello, i have gotten 3 optics exercices and i am struggling. I have looked up lessons on the internet and attempted to do the 1st exercice but i doubt i did it right. This is the statement:
Relevant Equations
A system has a convergent lens labelled L1, which has a focal length of +100mm, and a divergent lens with a focal length of -100mm. The optical centers O1and O2 of both these lenses find themselves at a distance of 90mm.

An object (A1B1), that has a height of 90mm is placed 300mms away from O1. (A1, O1 and O2 is the order of these elements on the axis).

Draw the image at a 1:3 ratio, of the A2'B2' object that is projected by this lens system.

I will insert below my attempt at resolution. I have divided every value in mm that i was given by 3 so that my final object is already the right size.
Thanks in advance for your answers!

Oh and i forgot to add that they then ask us to calculate the distance between the A1B1 object and it's A2'B2' Image.
