x^{2}-1-\left(x-2\right)^{2}
Consider \left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right). Multiplication can be transformed into difference of squares using the rule: \left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right)=a^{2}-b^{2}. Square 1.
x^{2}-1-\left(x^{2}-4x+4\right)
Use binomial theorem \left(a-b\right)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(x-2\right)^{2}.
x^{2}-1-x^{2}+4x-4
To find the opposite of x^{2}-4x+4, find the opposite of each term.
-1+4x-4
Combine x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 0.
-5+4x
Subtract 4 from -1 to get -5.
