Answer

$x \leq -\sqrt{5}~~~~~$ or $~~~~~ x \geq \sqrt{5}$ The solution set is $~~(-\infty,-\sqrt{5}] \cup [\sqrt{5}, \infty)$

Work Step by Step

$x^2 \geq 5$ $\vert x \vert \geq \sqrt{5}$ $x \leq -\sqrt{5}~~~~~$ or $~~~~~ x \geq \sqrt{5}$ The solution set is $~~(-\infty,-\sqrt{5}] \cup [\sqrt{5}, \infty)$
