click the link below to see a drawing. do you recall how to apply the formula below from your textbook?

$$\frac{1}{p} \ + \ \frac{1}{q} \ = \ \frac{1}{f}$$

In case those variables were confusing, I rewrote them.

$$\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{d_0} = \frac{1}{f}$$

d_0 = object distance
d_i = image distance
f = focal length
