    RMS value of a DC offset saw tooth wave

    I have calculated RMS values of a saw tooth waveform in two ways. 1. One is taking  take square of whole wave, integrate and take mean and then root of it. 2. Two split the wave into two parts; one DC and the AC parts. Take RMS of both separately. Then sqrt the squares of both. Theoretically...
