Homework Statement



A convex spherical mirror with a focal length of magnitude 24.0 is placed 18.0 to the left of a plane mirror. An object 0.350 tall is placed midway between the surface of the plane mirror and the vertex of the spherical mirror. The spherical mirror forms multiple images of the object.
Find
a) Where are the two images of the object formed by the spherical mirror that are closest to the spherical mirror?
( , ) = ...... , ......... cm
b) How tall is each image?
( , ) = ....... , ....... cm
