Answer

far point: $2.27m$ near point: $42.0cm$

Work Step by Step

We can find the far and near points as follows: $d_i=(\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{d_{\circ}})^{-1}=(\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{\infty})^{-1}=(-0.445m^{-1})^{-1}=-2.25m$ Now $far\space point=-d_i+0.0200m=-(-2.25m)+0.0200m=2.27m$ Now we find the near point as $d_i=(\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{d_{\circ}})^{-1}$ $d_i=(1.85dipoters-\frac{1}{0.250-0.0200})^{-1}=-0.400m$ $near\space point=-d_i+0.0200=-(-40.0cm)+2.00cm=42.0cm$
