The answer is option D)  r < 5  or  r > – 1.

I'm going to graph each inequality below on a number line.


A)  r > 5  or  r > – 1.

$\large\begin{array}{cl} \mathsf{r>5}&\qquad\mathsf{\textsf{|||}\!\!\!\underset{-1}{\circ}\!\!\!\textsf{|||||}\!\!\underset{5}{\circ}\!\!\overset{*****~~~}{\textsf{|||}}\!\!\!\footnotesize\begin{array}{l}\blacktriangleright \end{array}\qquad \mathbb{R}}\\\\ \mathsf{r>-1}&\qquad\mathsf{\textsf{|||}\!\!\!\underset{-1}{\circ}\!\!\!\overset{********************~~~}{\textsf{|||||}\!\!\underset{5}{\bullet}\!\!\textsf{|||}}\!\!\!\footnotesize\begin{array}{l}\blacktriangleright \end{array}\qquad \mathbb{R}}\\\\\\ \mathsf{r>5~~or~~r>-1}&\qquad\mathsf{\textsf{|||}\!\!\!\underset{-1}{\circ}\!\!\!\overset{********************~~~}{\textsf{|||||}\!\!\underset{5}{\bullet}\!\!\textsf{|||}}\!\!\!\footnotesize\begin{array}{l}\blacktriangleright \end{array}\qquad \mathbb{R}} \end{array}$

The result is found just by joining those two intervals together. Actually that compound inequality only implies

r > – 1

which does not represent all real numbers.

B)  r > 5  or  r < – 1.

$\large\begin{array}{cl} \mathsf{r>5}&\qquad\mathsf{\textsf{|||}\!\!\!\underset{-1}{\circ}\!\!\!\textsf{|||||}\!\!\underset{5}{\circ}\!\!\overset{*****~~~}{\textsf{|||}}\!\!\!\footnotesize\begin{array}{l}\blacktriangleright \end{array}\qquad \mathbb{R}}\\\\ \mathsf{r5~~or~~r$

Numbers between – 1  and  5 (including them) are not included in the union, so you don't have all real numbers represented there either.

—————

C)  r < 5  or  r < – 1.

$\large\begin{array}{cl} \mathsf{r$

Numbers that are greater or equal to 5 are not in the union. So it does not represent all real numbers.

—————

D)  r < 5  or  r > – 1.

$\large\begin{array}{cl} \mathsf{r-1}&\qquad\mathsf{\textsf{|||}\!\!\!\underset{-1}{\circ}\!\!\!\overset{********************~~~}{\textsf{|||||}\!\!\underset{5}{\bullet}\!\!\textsf{|||}}\!\!\!\footnotesize\begin{array}{l}\blacktriangleright \end{array}\qquad \mathbb{R}}\\\\\\ \mathsf{r-1}&\qquad\mathsf{\overset{~~~**************************~~~}{\textsf{|||}\!\!\!\underset{-1}{\bullet}\!\!\!\textsf{|||||}\!\!\underset{5}{\bullet}\!\!\textsf{|||}}\!\!\!\footnotesize\begin{array}{l}\blacktriangleright \end{array}\qquad \mathbb{R}} \end{array}$

Now all real numbers are included in the union. So this is the right choice.


Answer:  option D)  r < 5  or  r > – 1.


I hope this helps. =)
