To solve the equation \(x^2 = 81\) by inspection, we can take the square root of both sides. The equation implies that:

\[
x = \pm \sqrt{81}
\]

Calculating the square root, we find:

\[
\sqrt{81} = 9
\]

Thus, the solutions are:

\[
x = 9 \quad \text{and} \quad x = -9
\]

Therefore, the complete solution set is:

\[
\{-9, 9\}
\]

The correct response is:

\(\{-9, 9\}\)
