\frac{x}{\left(x+1\right)^{2}}-\frac{1}{x+1}
Factor x^{2}+2x+1.
\frac{x}{\left(x+1\right)^{2}}-\frac{x+1}{\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)^{2} and x+1 is \left(x+1\right)^{2}. Multiply \frac{1}{x+1} times \frac{x+1}{x+1}.
\frac{x-\left(x+1\right)}{\left(x+1\right)^{2}}
Since \frac{x}{\left(x+1\right)^{2}} and \frac{x+1}{\left(x+1\right)^{2}} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{x-x-1}{\left(x+1\right)^{2}}
Do the multiplications in x-\left(x+1\right).
\frac{-1}{\left(x+1\right)^{2}}
Combine like terms in x-x-1.
\frac{-1}{x^{2}+2x+1}
Expand \left(x+1\right)^{2}.
