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

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

n^2 - 1

I caught my neighbor leaving his 12-year-old son home alone and he has not come back in 6 hours. Should I call CPS?

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

(n - 1)(n + 1)

At what point does trespassing become self defense? What are the necessary conditions for this line to be crossed from trespassing to self defense?

Move the nub up to the top:

Can I know a love story of a medical student?

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

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

n^2 - n + n - 1

Why am I peeing so much without drinking a lot of water? I checked my blood sugar and it is normal. Could it be something else?
