The image will be a virtual image (behind the mirror) between the pole and the focus.
The position of the image can be calculated from the well-known mirror formula:
1/f = 1/do + 1/di where “do” is the distance of the object from the pole and “di” is the distance of the image from the pole.
You need to be careful with the signs (+ or -) for the distances. Unfortunately there is more than one “sign convention”. What I will use here is the convention that virtual image distances are negative and the focal length of a convex mirror is also negative.
So, the focal length is minusf and the object distance is plusf.
Hence: -1/f = 1/f + 1/di.
Adding -1/f to both sides of the equation gives -2/f = 1/di. Therefore di = -f/2.
So the image is at a distance f/2 behind the mirror.
