Answer

$-26cm$

Work Step by Step

First, we consider combining equations 34-9 and 34-10: $\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{i}=(n-1)(\frac{1}{r_1} - \frac{1}{r_2})$ Solving for the image distance, $i$, we obtain: $i=((n-1)(\frac{1}{r_1} - \frac{1}{r_2})-\frac{1}{p})^{-1}$ Putting in the given values from the table, we have: $i=((1.70-1)(\frac{1}{10cm} - \frac{1}{-12cm})-\frac{1}{6.0cm})^{-1}$ $i=-26cm$
