PLEASE HELP URGENT!!! A 20.0 cm tall object is placed 50.0 cm in front of a convex mirror with a radius of curvature of 34.0 cm. Where will the image be located, and how tall will it be? Please show all work using the following steps...

Step 1: Find the focal length, step 2: find the image distance using the mirror equation step 3: Use the magnification relationship to find the image height.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. f = r/2 = 34.0/2 = 17.0 cm

2. 1/s'= -1/f - 1/s

= -1/17 - 1/50

= (-50-17) /850

= (-67) /850

s' = 850/(-67) = - 12.69 cm

3. M = |s'/s| = |-12.69/50| = 0.25

h' = 0.25×20 = 4 cm
