Answer:
[tex]u=34cm[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Far point is [tex]V=34 cm[/tex]
Near point is [tex]u=17 cm[/tex]
Therefore
Focal Length
[tex]f=-34cm[/tex]
Generally the equation for the Lens is mathematically given by
[tex]\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{v}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{-34}-\frac{1}{-17}[/tex]
[tex]u=34cm[/tex]
