Formula

f: focal distance

i: distance of image

o: distance of objects

(distances measured from center of mirror)

fɬ: for concave

fɘ: for convex

iɬ for real image

iɘ for virtual image

(same for : o)

m: magnification

mɬ image erect

mɘ image reversed

We use the previous principles, and special light rays
