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

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

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

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

How do people in your country say "you're welcome" in their native language(s)? Is it a commonly known phrase or do most people just reply with "no problem"?

Move the nub up to the top:

n^2 - n + n - 1

Do you ever feel like you are doing good, but would do better if people hadn’t blamed you or even bothered you? I have gotten lonely, but I always am up to something (creating my destiny).

(n - 1)(n + 1)

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

I am married for 3 years. My husband keeps pressing my boobs 40-50 times a day. He never stops though I ask him not to. What I should do to stop it?

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