Solution

A mirror image of a point is a reflected duplication that appears identical but in reverse.

example:
Mirror image of (x , y ) in the x - axis
= ( x , -y)
Mirror image of (0,4) in the x-axis = ( 0 , -4).

Q. In the figure you are in a system of two vertical parallel mirrors A and B separated by distance d. A point object is placed at point O, a distance 0.2d from mirror A. Each mirror produces a first (least deep) image of the object. Then each mirror produces a second image with the object being the first image in the opposite mirror. Then each mirror produces a third image with the object being the second image in the opposite mirror, and so on - you might see hundreds of images. How deep behind mirror A are the first, second, and third images in mirror A?
