(13) Quadratic mean
; arithmetical mean
. The first involves a somewhat difficult integral, and may be stated thus: By definition the quadratic mean will be
.
Now the integration indicated by
is more readily obtained if for
we write
.
For
we write
; and, for
,
.
Making these substitutions, and integrating, we get (see p. 202)
.
At the lower limit the substitution of
for
causes all this to vanish, whilst at the upper limit the substitution of
for
gives
. And hence the answer follows.
(14) Area is
square units. Mean ordinate is
