1/f = 1/d + 1/x; -1/16 = 1/70 + 1/x; 1/x = -1/16 - 1/70 = - 86/(70·16) = -43/560; x = -560/43 = - 13 cm

asked 04/07/23The focal length of a diverging lens is negative. If f = −16 cm
for a particular diverging lens, where will the image be formed of an object located 70 cm
to the left of the lens on the optical axis?
