f_convex = 1/((1/u_convex)+(1/v_convex))
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Focal Length of Convex Mirror - (Measured in Meter) - Focal Length of Convex Mirror is the distance between the mirror's vertex and the focal point, which is the point where parallel rays of light converge after being reflected by the mirror.
Object Distance of Convex Mirror - (Measured in Meter) - Object Distance of Convex Mirror is the distance between the object and the convex mirror, which is used to determine the image distance and magnification of the mirror.
Image Distance of Convex Mirror - (Measured in Meter) - Image Distance of Convex Mirror is the distance between the mirror and the image formed by the convex mirror, which is used to describe the properties of the mirror and the object being reflected.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Object Distance of Convex Mirror: 0.4667 Meter --> 0.4667 Meter No Conversion Required
Image Distance of Convex Mirror: -0.4 Meter --> -0.4 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

f_convex = 1/((1/u_convex)+(1/v_convex)) --> 1/((1/0.4667)+(1/(-0.4)))

Evaluating ... ...

f_convex = -2.79880059970015

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

-2.79880059970015 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER
