Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A is a proper subset of B

To determine A, solve x^2 = 9. The integer solutions are x = -3 and x = 3, so A = {-3, 3}. Set B contains these two elements and one additional element, 9: B = {-3, 3, 9}. Hence every element of A belongs to B, but A and B are not equal. Therefore, A is a proper subset of B.
