Answer:


\large\boxed{x^(2) -1}

Explanation:

How to multiply polynomials?

To multiply polynomials, apply the FOIL method, where:

  • First
  • Outside
  • Inside
  • Last

Applying FOIL:


(x+1)(x-1)

First


x*x=x^(2)

Outside


x*(-1)=-x

Inside


x*1=x

Last


1*(-1)=-1

After applying FOIL I ended up with this answer:
x^(2) -x+x-1.

You might notice that we can simplify this a bit by adding
-x and
x. Their sum is
0:


x^(2) +0-1


x^(2) -1
