Explanation / Answer

( 9 )

Inverted images have negative image heights and therefore negative magnification values.

M = hi / ho = - 5.31 cm / 2.00 cm = - 2.66

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

( 10 )

The magnification of an image is both the hi / ho ratio and the -di / do ratio.

M = -di / do = - 2.66

Write 26.2 cm for image distance di and solve for do

     do = 10.0 cm

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

( 11 )

Use lens equation

1 /f = 1/ u + 1/ V

= 1/ 10.0 cm + 1 / 26.2 cm

Solve for focal length

f = 7.25 cm
