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

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

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