Question 196582: Hi!
I'm having some difficulty with the following problem:
If F is the focal length of a convex lens and an object is placed at a distance x from the lens, then its image will be at a distance y from the lens, where F, x, and y are related by the lens equation below. Suppose that a lens has a focal length of 2.1 cm, and that the image of an object is 4 cm closer to the lens than the object itself. How far from the lens is the object?
1/F = 1/x + 1/y
thanks!

Question 196647: I keep getting the incorrect answer to the following problem, I'm not sure where my error was, can you help me?
One method for determining the depth of a well is to drop a stone into it and then measure the time it takes until the splash is heard. If d is the depth of the well (in feet) and t1 the time (in seconds) it takes for the stone to fall, then d = 16t1^2, so t1 = √d/4. Now if t2 is the time it takes for the sound to travel back up, then d = 1090t2 because the speed of sound is 1090 ft/s. So t2 = d/1090. Thus, the total time elapsed between dropping the stone and hearing the splash is given by the following equation.
t1 + t2 = √d/4 + d/1090
How deep is the well if this total time is 2.3 s? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number.)
thanks!
