Answer

$\{-11,11\}$

Work Step by Step

Taking the square root of both sides (Square Root Property), the given equation, $ t^2=121 ,$ is equivalent to \begin{align*} t&=\pm\sqrt{121} .\end{align*} Using concepts of simplifying radicals, the equation above is equivalent to \begin{align*} t&=\pm\sqrt{(11)^2} \\ t&=\pm11 .\end{align*} Hence, the solution set of $ t^2=121 $ is $ \{-11,11\} $.
