Question:

The RMS value of \(x^2\) in \([0,1]\) is

Show Hint

RMS means square the function, take mean value, then square root.
  • \(\frac{1}{\sqrt5}\)
  • \(\frac{1}{5}\)
  • \(\frac{1}{\sqrt3}\)
  • \(\frac{1}{3}\)

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation


Step 1:
RMS value of \(f(x)\) in \([a,b]\) is: \[ \sqrt{\frac{1}{b-a}\int_a^b [f(x)]^2\,dx} \]

Step 2:
Here, \[ f(x)=x^2,\qquad a=0,\qquad b=1 \]

Step 3:
\[ \text{RMS}=\sqrt{\int_0^1 x^4\,dx} \]

Step 4:
\[ =\sqrt{\left[\frac{x^5}{5}\right]_0^1} \] \[ =\sqrt{\frac{1}{5}} \] \[ =\frac{1}{\sqrt5} \] \[ \boxed{\frac{1}{\sqrt5}} \]
