Problem
In a simulation, a particle moves along the curve
x
=
5
cot
(
θ
)
x = 5 \cot(\theta)
x
=
5
cot
(
θ
)
,
y
=
5
tan
(
θ
)
y = 5 \tan(\theta)
y
=
5
tan
(
θ
)
. A tangent is drawn at the position where
θ
=
45
∘
\theta = 45^{\circ}
θ
=
4
5
∘
. Calculate the area of the triangle formed by this tangent and the coordinate axes.
