There are no real solutions.

1 answer

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}
