Parabolic Sine Wave Substitute

Calculus Level pending

It is common knowledge that for a sine wave, the ratio of the peak value to the root mean square (RMS) value is 2 \sqrt{2} . Suppose we construct a periodic signal resembling a sine wave, composed of parabolic segments placed end to end, with oscillating polarity. Each parabolic segment has the shape of the curve ( y = x 2 , 1 x 1 ) (y = x^2, -1 \leq x \leq 1) (see image).

For this signal, the ratio of the peak value to the RMS value is:

Peak RMS = A B \frac{\text{Peak}}{\text{RMS}} = \sqrt{\frac{A}{B}}

If A A and B B are positive co-prime integers, determine A + B A + B .


The answer is 23.
