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

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

Trump is going to target known criminals in the country illegally for deportation. The Democrats have vowed to fight him every step of the way. Don't they understand this is one of the issues that cost them the white house, the house and senate?

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

Move the nub up to the top:

n^2 - 1

Are there any more 'nun' jokes?

n^2 - n + n - 1

(n - 1)(n + 1)
