Final answer to the problem
Step-by-step Solution
Specify the solving method
We can multiply the polynomials $\left(a+b-1\right)\left(a+b+1\right)$ by using the FOIL method. The acronym F O I L stands for multiplying the terms in each bracket in the following order: First by First ($F\times F$), Outer by Outer ($O\times O$), Inner by Inner ($I\times I$), Last by Last ($L\times L$)

$\begin{matrix}(F\times F)\:=\:(a)(a)\\(O\times O)\:=\:(a)(b+1)\\(I\times I)\:=\:(b-1)(a)\\(L\times L)\:=\:(b-1)(b+1)\end{matrix}$

The acronym F O I L stands for multiplying the terms in each bracket in the following order: First by First (F\times F), Outer by Outer (O\times O), Inner by Inner (I\times I), Last by Last (L\times L). Then, combine the four terms in a sum. Substitute the values of the products. We can multiply the polynomials a\cdot a+a\left(b+1\right)+\left(b-1\right)a+\left(b-1\right)\left(b+1\right) by using the FOIL method. The acronym F O I L stands for multiplying the terms in each bracket in the following order: First by First (F\times F), Outer by Outer (O\times O), Inner by Inner (I\times I), Last by Last (L\times L).
