    For the functions f(θ)=αtan⁡2θ+βcot⁡2θf(\theta) = \alpha\tan^{2}\theta + \beta\cot^{2}\theta, and g(θ)=αsin⁡2θ+βcos⁡2θ,α>β>0g(\theta) = \alpha\sin^{2}\theta + \beta\cos^{2}\theta,\alpha > \beta > 0, let min⁡0<θ<π2f(θ)=max⁡0<θ<πg(θ)\min_{0 < \theta < \frac{\pi}{2}} f(\theta) = \max_{0 < \theta < \pi} g(\theta). If the first term of a G.P. is (α2β)\left( \frac{\alpha}{2\beta} \right), its common ratio is (2βα)\left( \frac{2\beta}{\alpha} \right) and the sum of its first 10 terms is mn,gcd(m,n)=1\frac{m}{n},gcd(m,n) = 1, then m+nm + n is equal to ____\_\_\_\_ .
