To solve the equation \( x^2 = 36169 \) using inspection, we need to find the values of \( x \) such that when squared, they equal 36169.
-
Take the square root of both sides of the equation: \[ x = \pm \sqrt{36169} \]
-
Calculate \( \sqrt{36169} \): \[ \sqrt{36169} = 189 \]
-
Therefore, the solutions for \( x \) are: \[ x = 189 \quad \text{and} \quad x = -189 \]
Thus, the solution set is: \[ {-189, 189} \]
From your options, the correct choice that represents this is: \({-613, 613}\)
However, it appears that the correct values you'd mentioned as options were incorrect (they should be -189 and 189). Thus, the final answer reflecting the calculated solutions is: \({-189, 189}\) would be the accurate solution set.
