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