To solve the problem step by step, we will use the mirror formula and the magnification formula for concave mirrors. ### Step 1: Understand the given information We have two scenarios: 1. The first scenario has a magnification (m1) of -4 (since it is a real image). 2. The second scenario has a magnification (m2) of -3 after moving the object 3 cm away. ### Step 2: Use the magnification formula ...
