28. A concave mirror has a focal length of 12 cm. This mirror forms an image located 36 cm in front of the mirror. What is the magnification of the mirror?

We need object distance to find M so use mirror equation

Solve for object distance

So the object distance is 18 cm

Minus sign implies inverted image
