I think he wanted ⟹ (\implies), not ≥ (\ge).

Oh whoops yeah you're right. In that case,
\implies
gives ⟹ and
\Rightarrow
gives ⇒
a 3 + b 3 = ( a + b ) 3 − 3 a b ( a + b )
⟹ 1 4 = 2 3 − 3 a b × 2 [putting the value of ( a + b ) and ( a 3 + b 3 ) ]
⟹ 1 4 − 8 = − 6 a b
⟹ 6 = − 6 a b
⟹ a b = − 1
( a + b ) 5 ⟹ a 5 + 5 a 4 b + 1 0 a 3 b 2 + 1 0 a 2 b 3 + 5 a b 4 + a 5
So, a 5 + b 5 ⟹ ( a + b ) 5 − ( 5 a 4 b + 1 0 a 3 b 2 + 1 0 a 2 b 3 + 5 a b 4 )
⟹ ( a + b ) 5 − [ ( 5 a 4 b + 5 a b 4 ) + ( 1 0 a 3 b 2 + 1 0 a 2 b 3 ) ]
⟹ 2 5 − [ 5 a b ( a 3 + b 3 ) + 1 0 a 2 b 2 ( a + b ) ]
⟹ 3 2 − [ ( 5 × − 1 ( a 3 + b 3 ) ) + ( 1 0 × ( − 1 ) 2 ( a + b ) ) ]
⟹ 3 2 − ( ( − 5 × 1 4 ) + ( 1 0 × 2 ) )
⟹ 3 2 − ( − 7 0 + 2 0 )
⟹ 3 2 − ( − 5 0 ) ⟹ 3 2 + 5 0 ⟹ 8 2
May I know what is the LaTeX code for the sign "implies" (the arrow)?

\Rightarrow and \Longrightarrow will give ⇒ , ⟹ .
You can also try out \rightarrow and \Leftarrow and \Leftrightarrow :) For this reason, I tend to prefer to use \Rightarrow instead of \implies
O, its \implies between . . . or . . . . you can find this on formatting guide.
Given a + b = 2 , a 3 + b 3 = 1 4 , and applying , * a 3 + b 3 = ( a + b ) 3 − 3 a b ( a + b ) , we get a b = − 1 *
We know that a 2 + b 2 = ( a + b ) 2 − 2 a b = 6 (In our sum) .
Now * ( a 2 + b 2 ) ( a 3 + b 3 ) = a 5 + b 5 + ( a b ) 2 ( a + b ) , giving a 5 + b 5 = 8 2 . . . *
We observe, ( a 3 + b 3 ) ( a 2 + b 2 ) = a 5 + b 5 + a 3 b 2 + a 2 b 3 = a 5 + b 5 + a 2 b 2 ( a + b )
Also, ( a + b ) 2 = a 2 + b 2 + 2 a b ⟹ 4 − 2 a b = a 2 + b 2 − − − − − ( $ )
Now, 1 4 = a 3 + b 3 = ( a + b ) ( a 2 + b 2 − a b ) = 2 ( 4 − 3 a b ) [From ( $ ) ]
⟹ a b = − 1 .
Therefore, a 2 + b 2 = 4 − 2 a b = 4 − 2 ( − 1 ) = 6 .
Hence, ( a 3 + b 3 ) ( a 2 + b 2 ) = 1 4 × 6 = 8 4 .
Therefore, a 5 + b 5 = ( a 3 + b 3 ) ( a 2 + b 2 ) − a 2 b 2 ( a + b ) = 8 4 − ( − 1 ) 2 × 2 = 8 2 .
Factorizing the expression we want to evaluate and using a + b = 2 :
a 5 + b 5 = ( a + b ) ( a 4 − a 3 b + a 2 b 2 − a b 3 + a 4 ) = 2 ( a 4 − a 3 b + a 2 b 2 − a b 3 + a 4 ) ( I )
Now we need to find the value of the other factor. Factorizing a 3 + b 3 :
a 3 + b 3 = ( a + b ) ( a 2 − a b + b 2 ) = 2 ( a 2 − a b + b 2 ) = 1 4
a 2 − a b + b 2 = 7 ( I I )
Squaring both sides of ( I I ) and manipulating:
a 4 + ( a b ) 2 + b 4 − 2 a 3 b + 2 a 2 b 2 − 2 a b 3 = 4 9
a 4 − a 3 b + a 2 b 2 − a b 3 + a 4 = 4 9 − 2 a 2 b 2 + a 3 b + a b 3 = 4 9 − 2 ( a b ) 2 + a b ( a 2 + b 2 ) ( I I I )
What is a b and a 2 + b 2 ? Squaring both sides of a + b = 2 , we get that a 2 + 2 a b + b 2 = 4 .
From this and ( I I ) we obtain a b = − 1 and a 2 + b 2 = 6 . Plugging that into ( I I I ) :
a 4 − a 3 b + a 2 b 2 − a b 3 + a 4 = 4 9 − 2 ( − 1 ) 2 + ( − 1 ) ( 6 ) = 4 1
Substituting back into ( I ) :
a 5 + b 5 = 2 ⋅ 4 1 = 8 2
too lengthy man, see the next solution.
First of all, let's square the both sides of the equation a + b = 2 , and we will use it later on.
4 = ( a + b ) 2
4 = a 2 + 2 a b + b 2 − ( 1 )
Now, let's factorize a 3 + b 3 = 1 4 .
1 4 = ( a + b ) ( a 2 − a b + b 2
Substitute the equation a + b = 2 into the equation above, we get
1 4 = 2 ( a 2 − a b + b 2
Divide 2 on both sides,
7 = a 2 − a b + b 2 − ( 2 )
( 2 ) − ( 1 ) ,
3 = − 3 a b
a b = − 1
Substitute a b = − 1 into ( 2 ) ,
7 = a 2 + 1 b 2
6 = a 2 + b 2
Then,
( a + b ) 4 = 1 6
a 4 + b 4 + 4 a b ( b 3 + a 3 ) + 6 ( a b ) 2 = 1 6
Substitute the equation a 3 + b 3 = 1 4 and a b = − 1 into the equation above,
a^{4} + b^{4} -4(14} + 6 = 16
a 4 + b 4 = 6 6
Then,
( a + b ) 5 = a 5 + b 5 + 5 a b ( a 3 + b 3 ) + 1 0 ( a b ) 2 ( a + b )
Substitute the equation a 3 + b 3 = 1 4 and a b = − 1 into the equation above,
3 2 = a 5 + b 5 − 5 ( 1 4 ) + 1 0 ( 2 )
So, we get a 5 + b 5 = 8 2 in the end.
a little typing mistake here, some of the equation should be like this.
1 4 = ( a + b ) ( a 2 − a b + b 2 ) (line 6)
1 4 = 2 ( a 2 − a b + b 2 ) (line 8)
7 = a 2 + 1 + b 2 (line 15)
a 4 + b 4 − 4 ( 1 4 ) + 6 = 1 6 (line 22)
Who on the earth remembers the identity of ( a + b ) 5 ? I calculated the values of a and b and applied Binomial Theorem for their individual expansion! :P

I always keep the 6th row of pascal's triangle at the back of my mind, so i can easily work out 5 or 7+ when I need :p 1 - 4 are easy to remember.
a+b = 2 a^3 + b^3 = 14
Now, a^3+b^3 = (a + b) * (a^2 + b^2 - ab) Therefore, a^2 + b^2 - ab = 7 ...................................(1)
Also, (a + b)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + 2ab Hence, 4 = a^2 + b^2 + 2ab.......................................(2)
From (1) and (2) , ab = -1..........................................(3)
Using (3) and a+b=2 , we solve for a and b using the quadratic formula. We find, a = 1 + root(2) or 1 - root(2) b = 1 - root(2) or 1 + root(2)
Substituting these values in the required expression, we find, a^5 + b^5 = 82
a+b=2
a^3+b^3=14= (a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2)
a^2-ab+b^2=7
a^2+2ab+b^2=4
then we substitute the first equation to the second equation
ab=-1
a-1/a-2=0 b-1/b-2=0
then we substitute tha answer into a^5+b^5 henced we got82
did the same way
a 3 + b 3 = 1 4 , we can factorize this to give ( a + b ) ( a 2 − a b + b 2 ) = 1 4 , but a + b = 2 , so a 2 − a b + b 2 = 7 .
a + b = 2 , so a = 2 − b , we can substitute this into a 2 − a b + b 2 = 7 to give ( 2 − b ) 2 − b ( 2 − b ) + b 2 = 7 . Solving this quadratic tells us that b = 1 ± 2 and a = 1 ∓ 2 , we can then just substitute these values into a 5 + b 5 to get our answer of 8 2 .
(a+b)^3= a^3+b^3+ 3ab(a+b) putting a+b = 2 and a^3+b^3=14 we get, ab=-1 and a(2-a)= -1 gives quadratic equation a^2-2a-1=0, splving this we get a = 1+ \sqrt{2} and b= 1-\sqrt{2} . Putting these values of a and b in a^5+b^5, we get the answer 82
Observe that a 3 + b 3 = ( a + b ) 3 − 3 a b ( a + b ) , so let's obtain first a b with the known values:
1 4 = ( 2 ) 3 − 3 a b ( 2 ) ↔ a b = − 1
Now, observe that a 5 + b 5 = ( a + b ) 5 − 5 a b ( a 3 + b 3 ) − 1 0 ( a b ) 2 ( a + b ) , so replace with the known values again:
a 5 + b 5 = ( 2 ) 5 − 5 ( − 1 ) ( 1 4 ) − 1 0 ( − 1 ) 2 ( 2 )
a 5 + b 5 = 8 2
a+b=2
a^3+b^3=(a+b)(a^2-xy+b^2)
from the equation we get (a^2-xy+b^2)=7
a^2+2ab+b^2=4 (from the 1st line) then solve with (a^2-xy+b^2)=7 you'll get ab=-1
solve ab=-1 with a+b=2 you'll get if
a=1-sqrt2 b=1+sqrt2,
if a=1+sqrt2 b=1-sqrt2
just insert it to f(a,b)=a^5+b^5 youll get 82
Observe ( a + b ) 3 = a 3 + b 3 + 3 a b ( a + b ) = 8 ⟹ a b = − 1 by plugging in what we know. Now ( a + b ) 2 = a 2 + b 2 + 2 a b = a 2 + b 2 − 2 = 4 so a 2 + b 2 = 6 . Finally 8 4 = 6 ∗ 1 4 = ( a 2 + b 2 ) ( a 3 + b 3 ) = a 5 + b 5 + a 2 b 2 ( a + b ) = a 5 + b 5 + 2 hence a 5 + b 5 = 8 4 − 2 = 8 2 .
The last string of equations should be 8 4 = 6 ∗ 1 4 = ( a 2 + b 2 ) ( a 3 + b 3 ) = a 5 + b 5 + ( a b ) 2 ( a + b ) = a 5 + b 5 + 2
Let T n = a n + b n Then: T n + 1 = a n + 1 + b n + 1 = ( a n + b n ) ( a + b ) − a b ( a n − 1 + b n − 1 ) = ( a + b ) T n − a b T n − 1 T n + 1 = 2 T n − a b T n − 1 Hence we have found a recurrence relation!!!.Now all we need is the value of a b .This can easily be found as follows: a 3 + b 3 = ( a + b ) ( a 2 − a b + b 2 ) = ( a + b ) ( ( a + b ) 2 − 3 a b ) = 1 4 2 ( 4 − 3 a b ) = 1 4 → − 3 a b = 7 − 4 → a b = − 1 Hence: T n + 1 = 2 T n + T n + 1 The rest is simple computation: T 3 = 2 T 2 + T 1 → T 2 = 6 T 4 = 2 T 3 + T 2 → T 4 = 3 4 T 5 = 2 T 4 + T 3 → T 5 = 8 2
Using binomial theorem,
( a + b ) 5 = C ( 0 5 ) a 5 b 0 + C ( 1 5 ) a 4 b 1 + C ( 2 5 ) a 3 b 2 + C ( 3 5 ) a 2 b 3 + C ( 4 5 ) a 1 b 4 + C ( 5 5 ) a 0 b 5
which is equal to: a 5 + 5 a 4 b + 1 0 a 3 b 2 + 1 0 a 2 b 3 + 5 a 1 b 4 + b 5 Leave it here only.............
Now get to the problem,
We know that: ( a + b ) 3 = a 3 + b 3 + 3 a b ( a + b )
putting values we get: 8 = 1 4 + 6 a b
On solving we get a b = − 1
Now get back to where we started.....
We had: ( a + b ) 5 = a 5 + 5 a 4 b + 1 0 a 3 b 2 + 1 0 a 2 b 3 + 5 a 1 b 4 + b 5
But this can be written as: ( a + b ) 5 = a 5 + ( 5 ) ( a b ) ( a ) 3 + 1 0 a ( a b ) 2 + 1 0 b ( a b ) 2 + 5 ( a b ) b 3 + b 5
Taking commons : ( a + b ) 5 = a 5 + ( 5 ) ( a b ) ( a 3 + b 3 ) + 1 0 ( a + b ) ( a b ) 2 + b 5
Putting values of ( a + b ) , ( a 3 + b 3 ) , a b ,we get :
( 2 ) 5 = a 5 − ( 5 ) ∗ ( 1 4 ) + ( 1 0 ) ( 2 ) + b 5
which is equal to: 3 2 = a 5 − 7 0 + 2 0 + b 5
Thus a 5 + b 5 is equal : 8 2
(a+b)^5 = a^5 + 5 a^ 4b + 10 a^3 b^2 + 10 a^2 b^3 + 5 a b^4 + b^5
2^5 = a^5 + b^5 + 5ab (a^3 + b^3) + 10(ab)^2[a+b]
32 = a^5 +b^5 +70ab + 20(ab)^2
How to find the value of ab?
Using (a+b)^3 = a^3 + 3ab(a+b) + b^3 , you can easly find that ab= -1
So: 32 = a^5 + b^5 + 20 - 70
a^5 + b^5 = 82
a + b = 2 a^{3} + b^{3} = 14
(a+b)(a^{2} + b^{2} + 2ab ) = 2^{3} ( a^{3} + b^{3} )+ ab^{2} + 2a^{2} b + ba^{2} +2ab^{2} = 8 14 + 3 ( ab^{2} + ba^{2} ) = 8 ab^{2} + ba^{2} = -2 ab( a + b ) = -2 ab = -1 a = -1 / b
a + b = 2 -1/b + b = 2 -1 + b^(2} -2b = 0 b = 1±\sqrt{2} a = -1 / 1±\sqrt{2}
Substitute a = -1 / 1±\sqrt{2} and b = 1±\sqrt{2} into a^{5} + b^{5} , Hence, answer = 82
