What is the nature of the image? Is the image larger or smaller than the object? Draw a ray diagram to show the image formation in this case.

\\\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}\\ v=\frac{fu}{u-f}

For the image to be erect it has to be virtual and therefore as per convention v has to be positive

v > 0

\frac{fu}{u-f}>0

u < 0

f < 0

fu > 0

u - f > 0

u > f

Therefore the object must be placed between the pole and the focus of the mirror.

i.e -15 cm < u < 0

The image formed would be virtual and larger than the object.
