Step-by-step solution

For the function f(θ)=αtan⁡2θ+βcot⁡2θf(\theta) = \alpha\tan^2\theta + \beta\cot^2\theta, applying the AM-GM inequality gives:

αtan⁡2θ+βcot⁡2θ≥2αtan⁡2θ⋅βcot⁡2θ=2αβ\alpha\tan^2\theta + \beta\cot^2\theta \ge 2\sqrt{\alpha\tan^2\theta \cdot \beta\cot^2\theta} = 2\sqrt{\alpha\beta}

Thus, min⁡0<θ<π/2f(θ)=2αβ\min_{0 < \theta < \pi/2} f(\theta) = 2\sqrt{\alpha\beta}.

For the function g(θ)=αsin⁡2θ+βcos⁡2θg(\theta) = \alpha\sin^2\theta + \beta\cos^2\theta, we can rewrite it as:

g(θ)=αsin⁡2θ+β(1−sin⁡2θ)=β+(α−β)sin⁡2θg(\theta) = \alpha\sin^2\theta + \beta(1 - \sin^2\theta) = \beta + (\alpha - \beta)\sin^2\theta

Since α>β>0\alpha > \beta > 0, the maximum value of g(θ)g(\theta) occurs when sin⁡2θ\sin^2\theta is maximum, which is 11 (at θ=π/2\theta = \pi/2).

Thus, max⁡0<θ<πg(θ)=β+(α−β)(1)=α\max_{0 < \theta < \pi} g(\theta) = \beta + (\alpha - \beta)(1) = \alpha.

Given that min⁡f(θ)=max⁡g(θ)\min f(\theta) = \max g(\theta), we have:

2αβ=α2\sqrt{\alpha\beta} = \alpha

Squaring both sides (since α>0\alpha > 0), we get:

4αβ=α2⇒α=4β4\alpha\beta = \alpha^2 \Rightarrow \alpha = 4\beta

For the given Geometric Progression (G.P.):

First term a=α2β=4β2β=2a = \dfrac{\alpha}{2\beta} = \dfrac{4\beta}{2\beta} = 2

Common ratio r=2βα=2β4β=12r = \dfrac{2\beta}{\alpha} = \dfrac{2\beta}{4\beta} = \dfrac{1}{2}

The sum of the first 1010 terms is:

S10=a1−r101−r=21−(1/2)101−1/2=4(1−11024)=4(10231024)=1023256S_{10} = a\dfrac{1 - r^{10}}{1 - r} = 2\dfrac{1 - (1/2)^{10}}{1 - 1/2} = 4\left(1 - \dfrac{1}{1024}\right) = 4\left(\dfrac{1023}{1024}\right) = \dfrac{1023}{256}

We are given S10=mnS_{10} = \dfrac{m}{n} with gcd⁡(m,n)=1\gcd(m, n) = 1.

Since 256=28256 = 2^8 and 10231023 is odd, they are coprime. Therefore, m=1023m = 1023 and n=256n = 256.

m+n=1023+256=1279m + n = 1023 + 256 = 1279

Answer: 12791279
