Texts: Use the definitions given in Equations 1 and 2 for the mean value y and the effective value y RMS to show that the values given in Table 1 are correct.
Table 1: Average and RMS values of a sinusoidal waveform
y = 0
YRMS = A/V^2
Definition equation 1: Mathematically, the average value of a wave function y = y(t) is defined as the average of the scalar values of the wave in a time interval T. The average value Y is zero for the case of periodic waves with identical semicycles on the positive and negative side of the Cartesian plane. Otherwise, it is necessary to apply Equation 1.

Definition equation 2: Mathematically, the effective or mean square value YRMS of a wave function y(t) is defined as the square root of the mean of the area obtained by the values that the wave has, considering all the certain values that it acquires in a given time interval T.
YRMS = √∫v(t)^2dt
