In designing a new gear system for a truck, an engineer needs to determine the smallest positive value of t at which the two curves y1(t)=e-at and y2(t)=sin(bt) intersect. Use bisection method and determine this point of intersection cor­rect to three decimal places when a=2.478 and b=0.982 (add your program and answer here).
