If an object is at infinity (very large distance) in front of a concave mirror, where is the image formed?

Academic Physics NCERT Class 10

If an object is at infinity (very large distance) in front of a concave mirror, the image is formed at the focus.

Explanation

For an object placed at infinity, the image formed by a concave mirror is real and inverted, highly diminished, and at the focus $(F)$.
