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

n^2 - n + n - 1

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

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

Does a person with schizophrenia hear voices?

(n - 1)(n + 1)

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

Why do people who were very kind and loving once become cold-hearted?

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