Prime Power Roots

{ α 3 β 5 = 1 α 7 β 2 = 1 \begin{cases} \alpha^3 \beta^5 = 1 \\ \alpha^7 \beta^2 = 1 \end{cases}

Let α = cos θ 1 + i sin θ 1 \alpha = \cos \theta_1 + i \sin \theta_1 and β = cos θ 2 + i sin θ 2 \beta = \cos \theta_2 + i \sin \theta_2 be thecomplex numberssatisfying the system above, where 0 < θ 1 0 < \theta_1 and θ 2 < π 2 < \ \ theta_2 frac{\pi}{2} .

If θ 1 θ 2 = a b \frac{\theta_1}{\theta_2} = \frac{a}{b} , where a a and b b are coprimepositive integers, compute a + b . a+b.
