 the focal length is much more decent for a concave, and also worse for a convex mirror. When the image that is given, distance is good and decent, images are always on the same area of the mirror as the object given , and it is not fake. images distance is never positive , the image is on the oppisite side of the mirror, so the image must be virtual.
