Explanation / Answer

The object is placed at a distance of 2.4 m in front of the concave mirror
p = 2.4 m
The focal length of the concave mirror is
f = 0.51 m
the mirror equation is
1 / i + 1 / p = 1 / f
Where i is the image distance
We will find the image distance
1 / i = 1 / f - 1/ p
1 / i = 1/ 0.51 m - 1/ 2.4 m
i = (0.51 x 2.4) / (2.4 - 0.51)
i = 0.648 m
The image is real and located in front of the mirror
******************************************************************
PART B
The magnification equation for the mirror is
m = - i / p
Where hi is the height of the image and ho is the height of the object
m = - (0.648 / 2.4)
m = - 0.27
The magnification is negative, shows that the image is inverted
