simplify (x^2+2x+1)/(x+1) — step-by-step solution

The original denominators must be nonzero:

x \neq -1

Let's reduce:

\frac{x^{2} + 2 x + 1}{x + 1}

Let's factorize in

ℝ

x^{2} + 2 x + 1

You can transform this expression into:

{(x + 1)}^{2}

The fraction:

\frac{{(x + 1)}^{2}}{x + 1}

simplifies by the common factor:

x + 1

into the new expression:

x + 1

▶Simplified form:

x + 1
