Answer:
The distance between mirror and you is 2 ft.
Explanation:
diameter, d = 8 ft
radius of curvature, R = 4 ft
magnification, m = 0.5
focal length, f = R/2 = 4/2 = 2 ft
let the distance of object is u and the distance of image is v.
[tex]\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}\\\\\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}\\\\v = \frac {2 u}{u - 2}[/tex]
Use the formula of magnification
[tex]m = \frac{v}{u}\\\\0.5 =\frac { u}{u - 2}\\ \\u - 2 = 2 u \\\\u = -2 ft[/tex]
