Solution

simplify

(a - b) (b - a)

Solution

- (a - b)^{2}

Solution steps

(a - b) (b - a)

Simplify

b - a : - (a - b)

= (a - b) (- (a - b))

Apply rule:

a (- b) = - ab

(a - b) (- (a - b)) = - (a - b) (a - b)

= - (a - b) (a - b)

Apply exponent rule:

aa = a^{2}

- (a - b) (a - b) = - (a - b)^{2}

= - (a - b)^{2}
