Let's use the mirror equation to solve the problem:

where f is the focal length of the mirror,

the distance of the object from the mirror, and

the distance of the image from the mirror.
For a concave mirror, for the sign convention f is considered to be positive. So we can solve the equation for

by using the numbers given in the text of the problem:



Where the negative sign means that the image is virtual, so it is located behind the mirror, at 8.6 cm from the center of the mirror.
Answer: Transverse
Explanation: Transverse waves possess a vertical wave motion and a horizontal particle motion.
<span> We're given that x=25 when t=2: </span>
<span>25 = 3 + 12(2) + (1/2)a(2)^2 </span>
<span>Thus a = -1 cm/sec^2</span>
The correct answer is compound
