This can be solved in a far simpler way: - [![enter image description here][1]][1] So, to get the RMS value of the waveform, you square the individual parts (triangle and DC) to get power into a 1 Ω resistor, weight them with their duty cycle, add them together and finally, take the square root to get back to RMS voltage and lose the 1 Ω dependency. - For the triangle section, it's weighted power is \$\dfrac{4}{3}\times 7\div 15\$ - For the DC part it's just \$4\times 8\div 15\$ - Add them to get 2.755555 - Take the square root to get 1.65998661307 [Proof of triangle waveform RMS](https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/499312/calculating-rms-of-simple-waveform/499343#499343): - [![enter image description here][2]][2] [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/RLhpT.png [2]: https://i.sstatic.net/YKC40.png
