Explanation / Answer

Part A)

Apply 1/f = 1/p + 1/q

1/20 = 1/40 + 1/q

q = 40 cm

M = -40/40

M = -1 (Negative means the image is inverted)

Part B)

The image location was found already in part A

That is at 40 cm

Part C)

The image is real since q is positive

Part D)

The image is inverted since M is negative
