Consider the parabola `y^(2) = 8x`. Let `Delta_(1)` be the area of the triangle formed by the end points of its latus rectum and the point `P(1/2,2)` on the parabola, and `Delta_(2)` be the area of the triangle formed by drawing tangents at P and at the end points of the latus rectum. Then `(Delta_(1))/(Delta_(2))` is
