This starts with the collocation circle to go through the three points on the curve. First write the equation of a circle. Then write three equations that force the collocation circle to go through the three points on the curve. Last, solve the equations for a, b, and r.
There is a specific formula for finding the radius of a curvature, used often when one is measuring a mirror. The formula is: Radius of curvature = R =2*focal length.
The focal length of a concave mirror is about equal to half of its radius of curvature.
The Center of curvature is 2 times the focal length. By the way this is a physics question.

10 cm from the mirror.
the center of curvature is the ORIGIN of the radius of curvature
A plane mirror is not curved so it does not have a center of curvature. Or if you want to be mathematically correct, you could say that it's center of curvature is at an infinite distance from the mirror.
the centre of sphere is known as centre of curvature
There is a specific formula for finding the radius of a curvature, used often when one is measuring a mirror. The formula is: Radius of curvature = R =2*focal length.
Center of curvature = r(t) + (1/k)(unit inward Normal) k = curvature Unit inward normal = vector perpendicular to unit tangent r(t) = position vector

It is the center of the imaginary sphere to which the mirror belongs.

Concave mirror is used to a real image as big as real object. If the object is placed at center of curvature , then real image is formed at the same center of curvature.
The focal length (a.k.a focus) is exactly half the length of the centre of curvature. ie. F = 1/2 C
