The equation you're working with is \( x^2 = 169 \). To solve for \( x \), we can take the square root of both sides:
\[
x = \pm \sqrt{169}
\]
Since \( \sqrt{169} = 13 \), we have:
\[
x = \pm 13
\]
Thus, the roots of the equation \( x^2 = 169 \) are:
**A. \( x = \pm 13 \)**
So, the correct response is **A**: \( x = \pm 13 \).
\[
x = \pm \sqrt{169}
\]
Since \( \sqrt{169} = 13 \), we have:
\[
x = \pm 13
\]
Thus, the roots of the equation \( x^2 = 169 \) are:
**A. \( x = \pm 13 \)**
So, the correct response is **A**: \( x = \pm 13 \).
