For the functions f(θ)=αtan⁡2θ+βcot⁡2θf(\theta) = \alpha\tan^2\theta + \beta\cot^2\thetaf(θ)=αtan2θ+βcot2θ, and g(θ)=αsin⁡2θ+βcos⁡2θg(\theta) = \alpha\sin^2\theta + \beta\cos^2\thetag(θ)=αsin2θ+βcos2θ, α>β>0\alpha > \beta > 0α>β>0, let min⁡0<θ<π/2f(θ)=max⁡0<θ<πg(θ)\min_{0 < \theta < \pi/2}f(\theta) = \max_{0 < \theta < \pi}g(\theta)min0<θ<π/2​f(θ)=max0<θ<π​g(θ). If the first term of a G.P. is (α2β)\left(\dfrac{\alpha}{2\beta}\right)(2βα​), its common ratio is (2βα)\left(\dfrac{2\beta}{\alpha}\right)(α2β​) and the sum of its first 101010 terms is mn\dfrac{m}{n}nm​, gcd⁡(m,n)=1\gcd(m, n) = 1gcd(m,n)=1, then m+nm + nm+n is equal to _______.
