State the mirror formula. Is the same formula applicable to both concave and convex mirrors?

Solution
The mirror formula, is a mathematical relation between the object distance u, image distance v and focal length f of a spherical mirror. This relation is
                             1u+1v =1f 

In words, we can say that,  

1Object distance + 1Image distance = 1Focal length 

This formula is applicable to all concave and convex mirrors.
