Answer:


D = 1 --- Determinant


M = (N+1)/(2)th --- Median

Explanation:

Given


5m^2 - m = 0

Required

Calculate the determinant (D)

This is calculated using


D = b^2 - 4ac

In
5m^2 - m = 0


a = 5,
b = -1 and
c = 0

So, we have:


D = b^2 - 4ac


D = (-1)^2 - 4 *5*0


D = 1 - 0


D = 1

(b) Median Formula.

Median (M) is calculated using:


M = (N+1)/(2)th item
