How does the location of the object affects the characteristics and location of the image formed in a concave mirror?

The location of the object in relation to the focal point of a concave mirror affects the characteristics and location of the image formed. If the object is beyond the focal point, a real and inverted image is formed between the focal point and the mirror. If the object is within the focal point, a virtual and upright image is formed on the same side as the object.
