A mirror interacts with light by exhibiting specular reflection. This means that a mirror will form an image, which is why one can see herself in a mirror.
"Real" and "virtual" are two opposite, mutually exclusive categories of images. An image is either one or the other, and no image can be both. The image produced by a plane mirror is a virtual one.
Regardless of which side of the mirror you designate as the positive side, one of them is positive and the other one is negative, since the object and image are always on opposite sides of the mirror. BTW ... If the mirror is flat, then their absolute values are equal.
Concave mirror is that spherical mirror in which the reflection of light takes place in the bent-in surface(also called concave surface).

In addition to the primary image formed by one reflection off the back of the mirror, you may get images formed after two reflections and a total internal refraction: reflection off the back of mirror, refraction on inside of front surface of glass and reflection off back of the mirror. The refraction will only take place at a large angle.

real, inverted and magnification less than one
of course not! A mirror image would have to have one image of the baby and the second image precisely behind it- and you know that cannot happen in a real uterus! One single image of a baby cannot mirror a second one to the side of it as in fraternal or identical twins. Look in a mirror and move your arms. Does not the arm move preciely in the reflection the same way you are moving it? it may look like two arms to you but its one!!

mirror.
a reflection
The simple answer is one. The main reflection from the silvered surface on the back side of the mirror glass. A second reflection occurs from the front surface of the glass. However, this will be fainter since the reflectivity to transmittance of glass is low. The philosophical answer is infinite. Any reflective surface on you body (your eyes, for example) reflects the image in the mirror which reflect the image from the reflection... A pragmatist would set a limit at these reflections (the intensity is less than the sensitivity of the eyes, the image is smaller than the wavelength of visible light, etc.).
One major benefit of a broadway mirror is that its wide vision eliminates dangerous blind spots by increasing visibility. It also prevents a double image reflection and is basically free from distortion. This mirror is also scatter-proof.
A plane mirror has angle of incidence == angle of reflection and creates a virtual image . The size is +1 - its the SAME SIZE + means upright ( being virtual ) . Only difference is you can see MORE of yourself in a larger mirror against a smaller one.
