The correct Answer is:
To find the first five terms of the sequence defined by the nth term \( a_n = (-1)^{n-1} \cdot 5^{n+1} \), we will calculate \( a_1, a_2, a_3, a_4, \) and \( a_5 \) step by step. ### Step 1: Calculate \( a_1 \) Using the formula: \[ a_1 = (-1)^{1-1} \cdot 5^{1+1} \] Calculating: \[ a_1 = (-1)^{0} \cdot 5^{2} = 1 \cdot 25 = 25 \] ### Step 2: Calculate \( a_2 \) Using the formula: \[ a_2 = (-1)^{2-1} \cdot 5^{2+1} \] Calculating: \[ a_2 = (-1)^{1} \cdot 5^{3} = -1 \cdot 125 = -125 \] ### Step 3: Calculate \( a_3 \) Using the formula: \[ a_3 = (-1)^{3-1} \cdot 5^{3+1} \] Calculating: \[ a_3 = (-1)^{2} \cdot 5^{4} = 1 \cdot 625 = 625 \] ### Step 4: Calculate \( a_4 \) Using the formula: \[ a_4 = (-1)^{4-1} \cdot 5^{4+1} \] Calculating: \[ a_4 = (-1)^{3} \cdot 5^{5} = -1 \cdot 3125 = -3125 \] ### Step 5: Calculate \( a_5 \) Using the formula: \[ a_5 = (-1)^{5-1} \cdot 5^{5+1} \] Calculating: \[ a_5 = (-1)^{4} \cdot 5^{6} = 1 \cdot 15625 = 15625 \] ### Final Result The first five terms of the sequence are: \[ a_1 = 25, \quad a_2 = -125, \quad a_3 = 625, \quad a_4 = -3125, \quad a_5 = 15625 \]

To find the first five terms of the sequence defined by the nth term \( a_n = (-1)^{n-1} \cdot 5^{n+1} \), we will calculate \( a_1, a_2, a_3, a_4, \) and \( a_5 \) step by step. ### Step 1: Calculate \( a_1 \) Using the formula: \[ a_1 = (-1)^{1-1} \cdot 5^{1+1} \] Calculating: ...
