解:(1)∵(a+b)²=a²+2ab+b²,(a-b)²=a²-2ab+b²,
则a×b=[(a²+2ab+b²)-(a²-2ab+b²)]/4=(9-4)/4=5/4.
(2)由(1)可得,a²+b²=[(a²+2ab+b²)+(a²-2ab+b²)]/2=13/2.

(a+b)²=9, ①
(a-b)²=4, ②
用①-②得,4ab=5
∴ab=5/4
用①+②得,2(a²+b²)=13
∴a²+b²=13/2
(a+b)²-(a-b)²=9-5
(a+b+a-b)(a+b-a+b)=5
4ab=5
ab=5/4
(a+b)²+(a-b)²=9+5
a²+2ab+b²+a²-2ab+b²=14
2(a²+b²)=14
a²+b²=7
