\( \tan θ + \cot θ = 2 \) i.e., \( \tan θ + \cfrac{1}{\tan θ} = 2 \) i.e., \( \cfrac{\tan^2 θ + 1}{\tan θ} = 2 \) i.e., \( \tan^2 θ + 1 = 2\tan θ \) i.e., \( \tan^2 θ + 1 − 2\tan θ = 0 \) i.e., \( (\tan θ − 1)^2 = 0 \) i.e., \( \tan θ − 1 = 0 \) i.e., \( \tan θ = 1 \) ∴ \( \cot θ = 1 \) ∴ \( \tan^7 θ + \cot^7 θ = 1^7 + 1^7 = 1 + 1 = 2 \)
