Answer

$R_{1}=44.5~cm$

Work Step by Step

Given $\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{S_{0}}+\frac{1}{S_{i}}$ $f=14.5cm, S_{0}=21.5cm, S_{i}=?$ $\frac{1}{14.5}=\frac{1}{21.5}+\frac{1}{S_{i}}$ $\frac{1}{S_{i}}=\frac{1}{14.5}-\frac{1}{21.5}$ Therefore, $R_{1}=44.5~cm$ How to use the calculator: $14.5,*,x^{-1},-,21.5,*,x^{-1},=,x^{-1},=.$
