Why is (n-1)(n+1)=n^2-1?

If you cut off the end of that rectangle, you make it smaller, 2 * 3 and a separate nub of size 1 * 2

The basic answer is that you cross-multiply the values in each factor:

(n - 1)(n + 1)

Can it be true that people know your name, not your story, they’ve heard what you’ve done, but not what you’ve been through, so take their opinions of you with a grain of salt?

Move the nub up to the top:

Republican Trump is a billionaire, president, won't be held accountable for multiple felonies, and pretty much has whatever he wants. So why is he always whining and crying about stupid, pointless stuff? Is he incapable of happiness?

And you are left with almost a square. One less than the square of side n.

n^2 - n + n - 1

So, that’s a rectangle with sides 2 and 4.

The more direct answer is to look at a rectangle with sides of n + 1 and n - 1, let’s go with n = 2
