For 0<x<(π/2) , tangents to graphs of  y=cos(x) and y=tan(x) are exteded to  meet the x−axis from the point of   intersection.  find a:b .

let intersection point be (p,q)  tan p = cos p  sin^2 p+sinp−1=0  sin p = ((−1±(√(1+4)))/2)=(((√5)−1)/2)  p = sin^(−1)  (((√5)−1)/2)=tan^(−1) (√(((√5)−1)/2))=cos^(−1) (√(((√5)−1)/2))  m_1 = sec^2 (cos^(−1) (√(((√5)−1)/2)))=(2/((√5)−1))=(((√5)+1)/2)  m_2 = −sin(sin^(−1) (((√5)−1)/2))=−(((√5)−1)/2)  ∵ m_1 ∙m_2 =−1  ∴ (a/b)=m_1 =(((√5)+1)/2)=1.61803398...
