This is how the explanation goes in the textbook:

We have
n(A X B) = n(A) . n(B) = 3 x 2 = 6.

Now every subset of A x B is a relation from A to B and A x B has 2 to the power of 6 subsets.

Therefore the number of different relations from A to B = 2 to the power of 6 = 64

The Cartesian product is named after René Descartes whose formulation of analytic geometry gave rise to this concept..☺
