1. An object sits in front of a convex mirror. Which statement about the resulting image is always true?

A convex mirror will never form an inverted image, regardless of object position

The image moves toward the focus as the object approaches the mirror

The image can be inverted and real, depending on object position

The image becomes larger than the object once it’s within half the focal length

Unlike a concave mirror, a convex mirror always produces an upright, virtual image, for any position of the object — it can never form an inverted or real image.
