Answer:
object distance p = 13.33 cm
Explanation:
For this problem of finding the image of an object we must use the constructor equation
1 / f = 1 / p + 1 / q
where f is the focal length, p and q are the distances to the object and the image, respectively.
In this case they indicate the focal length f = 10 cm, since the person has hyperopia, the image must be formed q = 40 cm, let's find where the object is (p)
1 / p = 1 / f - 1 / q
1 / p = 1/10 - 1/40
1 / p = 0.075
p = 13.33 cm
