\frac{4}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}+\frac{x}{\left(x-1\right)^{2}}+\frac{2}{x+1}
Factor x^{2}-1. Factor x^{2}-2x+1.
\frac{4\left(x-1\right)}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)^{2}}+\frac{x\left(x+1\right)}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)^{2}}+\frac{2}{x+1}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of \left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right) and \left(x-1\right)^{2} is \left(x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)^{2}. Multiply \frac{4}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)} times \frac{x-1}{x-1}. Multiply \frac{x}{\left(x-1\right)^{2}} times \frac{x+1}{x+1}.
\frac{4\left(x-1\right)+x\left(x+1\right)}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)^{2}}+\frac{2}{x+1}
Since \frac{4\left(x-1\right)}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)^{2}} and \frac{x\left(x+1\right)}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)^{2}} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{4x-4+x^{2}+x}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)^{2}}+\frac{2}{x+1}
Do the multiplications in 4\left(x-1\right)+x\left(x+1\right).
\frac{5x-4+x^{2}}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)^{2}}+\frac{2}{x+1}
Combine like terms in 4x-4+x^{2}+x.
\frac{5x-4+x^{2}}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)^{2}}+\frac{2\left(x-1\right)^{2}}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)^{2}}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of \left(x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)^{2} and x+1 is \left(x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)^{2}. Multiply \frac{2}{x+1} times \frac{\left(x-1\right)^{2}}{\left(x-1\right)^{2}}.
\frac{5x-4+x^{2}+2\left(x-1\right)^{2}}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)^{2}}
Since \frac{5x-4+x^{2}}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)^{2}} and \frac{2\left(x-1\right)^{2}}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)^{2}} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{5x-4+x^{2}+2x^{2}-4x+2}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)^{2}}
Do the multiplications in 5x-4+x^{2}+2\left(x-1\right)^{2}.
\frac{x-2+3x^{2}}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)^{2}}
Combine like terms in 5x-4+x^{2}+2x^{2}-4x+2.
\frac{\left(3x-2\right)\left(x+1\right)}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)^{2}}
Factor the expressions that are not already factored in \frac{x-2+3x^{2}}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)^{2}}.
\frac{3x-2}{\left(x-1\right)^{2}}
Cancel out x+1 in both numerator and denominator.
\frac{3x-2}{x^{2}-2x+1}
Expand \left(x-1\right)^{2}.
