Simplify ((x+1)^3)/((x+1)^5)

$\frac{{(x + 1)}^{3}}{{(x + 1)}^{5}}$

Step 1

Multiply by $1$ .

$\frac{{(x + 1)}^{3} \cdot 1}{{(x + 1)}^{5}}$

Step 2

Cancel the common factors.

Factor ${(x + 1)}^{3}$ out of ${(x + 1)}^{5}$ .

$\frac{{(x + 1)}^{3} \cdot 1}{{(x + 1)}^{3} {(x + 1)}^{2}}$

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{{(x + 1)}^{3} \cdot 1}{{(x + 1)}^{3} {(x + 1)}^{2}}$

Rewrite the expression.

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