To solve the equation \( x^2 = 81 \) using inspection, we look for values of \( x \) that, when squared, equal 81.
The square root of 81 is 9, and since squaring can yield both positive and negative results, we have:
- \( x = 9 \)
- \( x = -9 \)
Thus, the complete solution set is:
\({ -9, 9 }\)
So the correct response is:
{−9, 9}
