### Solution
Knowing, that the focal length of a spherical Lens is $$\frac{R}{2}$$
−
+We can use the formula:
+$$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{b} + \frac{1}{g}$$
+to get the position of the Image. In this case $g = -R$ and $f = -\frac{R}{2}$(minus because it is a concave lens).Putting these values in the formula:
+$$-\frac{2}{R} + \frac{1}{R} = -\frac{1}{R} = \frac{1}{b} \Leftrightarrow b = -R $$
+This tells us that the image is at the exact same position as the object. The formula for the magnification is:
+$$M = -\frac{b}{g}$$
+in this case, $b = g$ so $M=-1$, that means, the image is just a flipped version of the object(mirrored along the x-axis)
#### Answer
−[Insert a concise answer or boxed result]
+[The image is identical to the object(same size and position) but just flipped along the x-axis]
