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

Move the nub up to the top:

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

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

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

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

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

If you were to bet, will Canada bend over to Trump's America demands or remain inflexible until the last day of his Presidency on January 20, 2029? Will America or Canada win this geopolitical arm-wrestling? I'm rooting for America.
