You really need to post the details of what you are trying to do
with the Mathematica code to get answers that best apply to what
you are attempting. Meanwhile, look at the documentation for
Assuming. For example,

In[6]:= Assuming[ a > 0 && a s < 1,
  Integrate[Exp[s t] Exp[-t/a]/a, {t, 0, Infinity}]]

Out[6]= 1/(1 - a*s)

Contrast that with the result you get from

Integrate[Exp[s t] Exp[-t/a]/a, {t, 0, Infinity}]
