x^2+2x+1 can be factored into (x+1)^2
the exponent of the log function is placed in front because
it is equivalent to (x+1)(x+1) when you multiply logs you can add them together thus log base 3(x+1)+log base 3(x+1)=2log base 3(x+1)
When you divide logs you can subtract them.

2log base 3(x+1)-2log base 3(x) is the final expression
