a^{2}+2a-\left(a-1\right)\left(a+1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply a by a+2.
a^{2}+2a-\left(a^{2}-1^{2}\right)
Consider \left(a-1\right)\left(a+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}.
a^{2}+2a-\left(a^{2}-1\right)
Calculate 1 to the power of 2 and get 1.
a^{2}+2a-a^{2}-\left(-1\right)
To find the opposite of a^{2}-1, find the opposite of each term.
a^{2}+2a-a^{2}+1
The opposite of -1 is 1.
2a+1
Combine a^{2} and -a^{2} to get 0.
