Given:

tanθ + cotθ = 2

Formula Used:

Tan45° = 1

Cot45° = 1

Calculation:

According to the question,

tanθ + cotθ = 2

If we put θ = 45° in the above trigonometric equation, we get

⇒ tan45° + cot45° = 1 + 1 = 2

So,

tan2θ + cot2θ + 2 tan5θcot4 θ = 12 + 12 + 2 × 15 × 14

⇒ 1 + 1 + 2

⇒ 4

∴ The required answer is 4.
