\frac{1}{\left(\alpha -1\right)\left(-\alpha -1\right)}+\frac{1}{\left(\alpha -1\right)\left(\alpha +1\right)}
Factor 1-\alpha ^{2}. Factor \alpha ^{2}-1.
\frac{-1}{\left(\alpha -1\right)\left(\alpha +1\right)}+\frac{1}{\left(\alpha -1\right)\left(\alpha +1\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of \left(\alpha -1\right)\left(-\alpha -1\right) and \left(\alpha -1\right)\left(\alpha +1\right) is \left(\alpha -1\right)\left(\alpha +1\right). Multiply \frac{1}{\left(\alpha -1\right)\left(-\alpha -1\right)} times \frac{-1}{-1}.
\frac{0}{\left(\alpha -1\right)\left(\alpha +1\right)}
Since \frac{-1}{\left(\alpha -1\right)\left(\alpha +1\right)} and \frac{1}{\left(\alpha -1\right)\left(\alpha +1\right)} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators. Add -1 and 1 to get 0.

Zero divided by any non-zero term gives zero.
