It is common knowledge that for a sine wave, the ratio of the peak value to the root mean square (RMS) value is . 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 (see image).
For this signal, the ratio of the peak value to the RMS value is:
If and are positive co-prime integers, determine .
