Problem

In an optics experiment, Isaac places an apple 36, space, start text, c, m, end text from a concave lens. He looks through the lens to see a virtual image that's one-fourth the size of the apple.
What is the focal length, f, of the lens?
Note: Let's write the answer in the Cartesian sign convention.
f, equals
