4 The curves \(y = \cos ^ { - 1 } x\) and \(y = \tan ^ { - 1 } ( \sqrt { 2 } x )\) intersect at a point \(A\).
  1. Verify that the coordinates of \(A\) are \(\left( \frac { 1 } { \sqrt { 2 } } , \frac { 1 } { 4 } \pi \right)\).
  2. Determine whether the tangents to the curves at \(A\) are perpendicular.
