Answer

$S_{0}=37.5~cm$

Work Step by Step

Given $\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{S_{0}}+\frac{1}{S_{i}}$ $f=15cm, S_{0}=?, S_{i}=25cm$ $\frac{1}{15}=\frac{1}{S_{0}}+\frac{1}{25}$ $\frac{1}{S_{0}}=\frac{1}{15}-\frac{1}{25}$ Therefore, $S_{0}=37.5~cm$ How to use the calculator: $15,*,x^{-1},-,25,*,x^{-1},=,x^{-1},=.$
