Question
The following matrix product is used in discussing two thin lenses in air:

\[ 
M = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & -1/f_2 \\ 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix} 
\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ d & 1 \end{pmatrix} 
\begin{pmatrix} 1 & -1/f_1 \\ 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}, 
\]

where \( f_1 \) and \( f_2 \) are the focal lengths of the lenses and \( d \) is the distance between them. As in Problem 9, element \( M_{12} \) is \(-1/f\) where \( f \) is the focal length of the combination. Find \( M \), \(\det M\), and \( 1/f \).
