To express the solutions to the equation \( x^2 = 18 \) using set notation, we first determine the solutions. The solutions are \( x = -\sqrt{18} \) and \( x = \sqrt{18} \).

Simplifying \( \sqrt{18} \): \[ \sqrt{18} = \sqrt{9 \times 2} = 3\sqrt{2} \]

Thus, the solutions are \( -3\sqrt{2} \) and \( 3\sqrt{2} \).

Next, we express these solutions in set notation. Since \( -3\sqrt{2} \) is less than \( 3\sqrt{2} \), we write the set as:

\[ { -3\sqrt{2}, 3\sqrt{2} } \]

Now, for numerical approximation (if needed):

  • \( \sqrt{2} \) is approximately \( 1.414 \), thus:
  • \( -3\sqrt{2} \approx -4.242 \)
  • \( 3\sqrt{2} \approx 4.242 \)

The final answer in set notation is:

\[ { -3\sqrt{2}, 3\sqrt{2} } \]
