The equation in the third step is found by subtracting the equation from step 2 from the equation in step 1. What happens to all the terms on the right hand side?
  1. They are ignored, because they are all going to be much smaller than either a or arn, depending on whether r is greater or less than 1.
  2. All but two of them are eliminated by subtraction. Aside from the first term of the first equation and the last term of the second equation, each term in the first equation has an equal term in the second equation, and thus they become n - 2 zeros.
  3. Using the factor theorem, they all cancel out except for a and arn.
  4. Dividing both sides of the equation by ar,ar2,...,arn-1, they all cancel out.

How does one arrive at step 2?
  1. It is a new definition for Sn.
  2. Adding a factor of r to each term.
  3. By multiplying each side of the equation in step one by r.
  4. Adding a similar, but larger, finite geometric series.
