Answer:


\huge\boxed{ \text{(A)}\ \ (1)/(10), -(1)/(10)}

Explanation:

We can simplify this expression down so that we have x isolated on one side of the equation.

So we can take the square root of both sides.


x = \sqrt{(1)/(100)}

The square root of
(1)/(100) will be the number that, when multiplied by itself, will get us
(1)/(100).

In order to find the square root of a fraction, the numerator squared must correct and the denominator squared must be correct.


1^2 = 1


10^2 = 100

This means that we have the values 1 and 10. Therefore one of our fractions is
(1)/(10).

HOWEVER: A negative number squared is a positive. So this also works:


-1^2 = 1\\\\-10^2=10

So we have
-(1)/(10) along with
(1)/(10).

Hope this helped!
