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

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

My cantankerous beagle is very badly behaved at the dog park and always starts barking at the other dogs. Would pepper spray be an effective method to correct his inappropriate behavior?

Move the nub up to the top:

n^2 - n + n - 1

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

Why is Matt Gaetz being investigated but not Sarah (Tim) McBride? Why do we only care about grooming when it's the Republicans doing it?

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

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

If sea levels were rising, wouldn't the acreage of coastal salt marshes increase? Are they?

(n - 1)(n + 1)

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