I have to simplify this, but I can't figure out how to start. I've tried putting a-b to the same dom as in the second term: (b-a) .Any help with some explenation would be appreciated. One of the four awsers is correct.

\(\displaystyle \frac{a}{a-b} + \frac{ab}{(b-a)^2}\)

\(\displaystyle = \ \frac{a}{a-b} + \frac{ab}{(a-b)^2}\)

\(\displaystyle = \ \frac{a(a-b) \ + \ ab}{(a-b)^2}\)

continue......

Please show us what you have tried and exactly where you are stuck.

You are making it far too complicated.
First \(\large\bf(b-a)^2=(a-b)^2\) so that
\(\dfrac{a}{a-b}+\dfrac{ab}{(a-b)^2}\\\dfrac{a^2-ab+ab}{(a-b)^2}\\\dfrac{a^2}{(b-a)^2}\).
