This expression can be simplified by factoring out the common denominator of (1-b)(1+b) on the right side:
a/(1-b) + a/(1+b) + a/(1-b^2)
Now, we can rewrite the last term as a sum of simpler fractions:
a/(1-b) + a/(1+b) + a/((1-b)(1+b))
Next, we can combine the first two fractions by finding a common denominator of (1-b)(1+b):
[a(1+b) + a(1-b)] / ((1-b)(1+b))
Now, simplifying the numerator gives:
[a + ab + a - ab] / ((1-b)(1+b))
Which simplifies further to:
[2a] / [1-b^2]
Therefore, the simplified expression is:
2a / (1 - b^2)
