Answer

See the detailed answer below.

Work Step by Step

We know that the lateral magnification is given by $$m=-\dfrac{s'}{s}\tag 1$$ We also know that the longitudinal magnification is given by $$M= \dfrac{ds'}{ds}\tag 2$$ See problem 82 in your textbook in this chapter, it refers to the same $M$. For the thin lens, $$\dfrac{1}{s}+\dfrac{1}{s'}=\dfrac{1}{f}$$ Solving for $s'$, $$s'=\left[ \dfrac{1}{f}-\dfrac{1}{s} \right]^{-1}=\left[ \dfrac{s-f}{fs} \right]^{-1}$$ $$s'=\dfrac{fs}{s-f} \tag 3$$ Plugging $s'$ from (3) into (1), $$m=-\dfrac{ 1}{s}\cdot \dfrac{fs}{s-f}$$ $$m=-\dfrac{ f}{s-f} \tag 4 $$ Plugging $s'$ from (3) into (2), $$M= \dfrac{d }{ds}\left[\dfrac{fs}{s-f}\right]=\dfrac{f(s-f)-fs}{(s-f)^2} $$ $$M= \dfrac{fs-f^2-fs}{(s-f)^2} =-\dfrac{f^2}{(s-f)^2}$$ $$M= -\left[\dfrac{f }{(s-f)}\right]^2=-m^2\tag{See (4)}$$ $$\boxed{M= -m^2}$$
