Answer:

-1/11, +1/11

Explanation:

You want the two square roots of 1/121.

Square root

A square root can be either positive or negative.


\pm\sqrt{(1)/(121)}=\pm(1)/(√(121))=\boxed{\pm(1)/(11)}

Additional comment

The √ symbol generally means the principal square root, the positive root. To get the negative root, we precede the symbol with a minus sign. So, both square roots are identified as ±√( ).
