A concave mirror will focus an image and make it appear smaller. A convex mirror will disperse an image and make it appear larger.
Can the image produced by a convex mirror ever be larger than the image?
ONly virtual image is possible in case of convex mirror and the image has to be smaller than the object. So no chance for the image to be larger in any way.
Where should the object be placed in order to produce a larger object behind a concave mirror?
The object should be necessarily be placed between the focal point of the concave mirror and the pole of the mirror to produce a larger image(not larger object) behind the concave mirror.

Why are objects in a passenger mirror larger than they appear?
The mirror is slightly convex (domed outward). This gives the mirror a larger viewing area. The trade-off for this larger viewing area is that objects seem smaller. One way to think about it is that you are viewing more stuff in the same size mirror. To fit more stuff in your view, the stuff you are viewing must be smaller.
Why does a shaving mirror make Your face larger?

Are images sometimes larger than the actual object in a diverging mirror?
no, the image formed is always smaller in magnitude compared to the actual object. i.e. either a diminished point size image is formed at the principal focus or a diminished image is formed.
How is the image form in curved mirrors what is the answer?
A concave mirror the image will always be smaller then the actual image
Will an object inside a principal focus be smaller?
No, for a concave mirror the object will become larger. it is virtual the right way up and it is behind the mirror
