Question

\(\dfrac{ab+a^2}{b^2-5b+5a-a^2}\cdot\dfrac{a^2-10a+25-b^2}{a^2-b^2}\)

Answer 1

\(\dfrac{ab+a^2}{b^2-5b+5a-a^2}\cdot\dfrac{a^2-10a+25-b^2}{a^2-b^2}\)

\(=\dfrac{a\left(a+b\right)}{\left(b^2-a^2\right)-\left(5b-5a\right)}\cdot\dfrac{\left(a-5\right)^2-b^2}{\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right)}\)

\(=\dfrac{a\left(a+b\right)}{\left(b-a\right)\left(b+a\right)-5\left(b-a\right)}\cdot\dfrac{\left(a-5-b\right)\left(a-5+b\right)}{\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right)}\)

\(=\dfrac{a}{a-b}\cdot\dfrac{\left(a-b-5\right)\left(a+b-5\right)}{\left(b-a\right)\left(b+a-5\right)}\)

\(=\dfrac{a}{a-b}\cdot\dfrac{a-b-5}{b-a}=\dfrac{-a\left(a-b-5\right)}{\left(a-b\right)^2}\)
