  1. A \( x \in(-15,5] \)
  2. B \( x \in(-5,5] \)
  3. C \( x \in(-\infty,-15] \cup[5, \infty) \)
  4. D \( x \in[-\infty,-15] \cup[5, \infty) \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \( x \in(-\infty,-15] \cup[5, \infty) \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given that, \(|x+5| \geq 10\)
\(\Rightarrow-10 \geq x+5 \geq 10\)
\(\Rightarrow-15 \geq x \geq 5\)
\(\Rightarrow x \in(-\infty,-15] \cup[5, \infty)\)
