Your question is ill-posed. Is there a particular formula (e.g., \sum_{i=0}^{n-1} a r^i = a(1-r^n)/(1-r)) that you're trying to prove?

If so, this page may be some help:

How can you tell if a infinite geometric series has a sum or not?

The geometric series is, itself, a sum of a geometric progression. The sum of an infinite geometric sequence exists if the common ratio has an absolute value which is less than 1, and not if it is 1 or greater.

When and how can you add infinite series of geometric progressions?

An infinite series of geometric progressions can be summed when the common ratio ( r ) satisfies ( |r| < 1 ). In this case, the sum ( S ) of the infinite series can be calculated using the formula ( S = \frac{a}{1 - r} ), where ( a ) is the first term of the series. If ( |r| \geq 1 ), the series diverges and does not have a finite sum.
