We know that if n(A) = p and n(B) = q, then n(A × B) = pq.
∴ n(A × A) = n(A) × n(A)
It is given that n(A × A) = 9
∴ n(A) × n(A) = 9
⇒ n(A) = 3
The ordered pairs (–1, 0) and (0, 1) are two of the nine elements of A×A.
We know that A × A = {(a, a): a ∈ A}. Therefore, –1, 0, and 1 are elements
of A.
Since n(A) = 3, it is clear that A = {–1, 0, 1}.
The remaining elements of set A × A are (–1, –1), (–1, 1), (0, –1), (0, 0),
(1, –1), (1, 0), and (1, 1).
