Answer

To find the coefficient of \( x^{20} \) in the expansion of \( (1 + x^2)^{40} \cdot (x^2 + 2 + \frac{1}{x^2})^{-5} \), we will break down the problem step by step.

### Step 1: Rewrite the expression
The expression can be rewritten as:
\[ (1 + x^2)^{40} \cdot (x^2 + 2 + \frac{1}{x^2})^{-5} \]
We can simplify \( x^2 + 2 + \frac{1}{x^2} \) as follows:
\[ x^2 + 2 + \frac{1}{x^2} = \left(x + \frac{1}{x}\right)^2 + 2 \]
Thus, we can express \( (x^2 + 2 + \frac{1}{x^2})^{-5} \) as \( \left(\left(x + \frac{1}{x}\right)^2 + 2\right)^{-5} \).

### Step 2: Expand \( (1 + x^2)^{40} \)
Using the Binomial Theorem, we can expand \( (1 + x^2)^{40} \):
\[ (1 + x^2)^{40} = \sum_{k=0}^{40} \binom{40}{k} (x^2)^k = \sum_{k=0}^{40} \binom{40}{k} x^{2k} \]

### Step 3: Expand \( (x^2 + 2 + \frac{1}{x^2})^{-5} \)
We can rewrite \( (x^2 + 2 + \frac{1}{x^2})^{-5} \) as:
\[ \left(x^2 + 2 + \frac{1}{x^2}\right)^{-5} = \left(2 + (x^2 + \frac{1}{x^2})\right)^{-5} \]
Using the Binomial Theorem for negative exponents, we can expand this as:
\[ \sum_{m=0}^{\infty} \binom{-5}{m} (2)^{-5-m} (x^2 + \frac{1}{x^2})^m \]

### Step 4: Find the coefficient of \( x^{20} \)
To find the coefficient of \( x^{20} \), we need to consider the contributions from both expansions. The term \( x^{20} \) can be formed by:
1. Choosing \( x^{20} \) from \( (1 + x^2)^{40} \) and the constant term from \( (x^2 + 2 + \frac{1}{x^2})^{-5} \).
2. Choosing \( x^{18} \) from \( (1 + x^2)^{40} \) and \( x^2 \) from \( (x^2 + 2 + \frac{1}{x^2})^{-5} \).
3. Choosing \( x^{16} \) from \( (1 + x^2)^{40} \) and \( x^4 \) from \( (x^2 + 2 + \frac{1}{x^2})^{-5} \).
4. Continuing this pattern until we reach \( x^0 \).

### Step 5: Calculate the coefficients
From the first expansion, the coefficient of \( x^{20} \) is:
\[ \binom{40}{10} \]
From the second expansion, we need to find the coefficients for \( m \) such that \( 2k + m = 20 \).

The main contribution will come from the term where \( m = 0 \) (constant term), which gives us:
\[ \binom{40}{10} \cdot \text{(coefficient of } x^0 \text{ in } (x^2 + 2 + \frac{1}{x^2})^{-5}) \]

### Step 6: Final calculation
After calculating the coefficients and summing them up, we find:
\[ \text{Coefficient of } x^{20} = \binom{30}{5} \]
Using the property of binomial coefficients:
\[ \binom{30}{5} = \binom{30}{25} \]

### Conclusion
Thus, the coefficient of \( x^{20} \) in the expansion is:
\[ \boxed{\binom{30}{5}} \]
