Homework Statement
An object is placed a distance do in front of a concave mirror with a radius of curvature r = 6 cm. The image formed has a magnification of M = 4.3. Solve for the object's distance.
Homework Equations
M = -di/do
(1/do) + (1/di) = 2/R = 1/f
The Attempt at a Solution
I've tried to rearrange the magnification equation and sub it into the spherical mirror equation in order to cancel out the di's, so I can solve for do using radius and magnification, except I'm still not even entirely sure how you would manage to make this work.
How would I rearrange these equations to solve for do?
