ANSWER:

Step 1 of 4

(a)

In the reference example, if an object is at in front of the mirror. We need to determine the radius of curvature of the mirror in order to have the image at in front of the mirror.

In order to calculate the radius of curvature of the mirror, first we need to calculate the focal length of the mirror.
