The location of the pencil's image is =16.6cm

<h3>Calculation of image location</h3>

The focal length of the convex mirror (f)= -13.0 cm

The object distance (u) = 60cm

The image distance (v) = xcm

Using the formula,1/f= 1/v + 1/u

Make 1/v the subject of formula,

1/v = 1/f -1/u

1/v = 1/13 - 1/60

1/v = 60-13/780

1/v = 47/780

V = 780/47

V = 16.6 cm

Therefore, he location of the pencil's image is = 16.6cm
