(N/A) For lenses,the lens formula is given by $\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{u}$,where $f$ is the focal length,$v$ is the image distance,and $u$ is the object distance.
For mirrors,the mirror formula is given by $\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u}$,where $f$ is the focal length,$v$ is the image distance,and $u$ is the object distance.
