Answer

$-\frac {2}{5}, \frac {4}{25}, -\frac {8}{125}, \frac {16}{625}, -\frac {32}{3125}$

Work Step by Step

Take the values of the sequence when $n=1,2,3,4,5$. $a_{1}=(-\frac{2}{5})^{1}= -\frac {2}{5}$ $a_{2}=(-\frac{2}{5})^{2} = \frac {4}{25}$ $a_{3}=(-\frac{2}{5})^{3}=-\frac {8}{125}$ $a_{4}=(-\frac{2}{5})^{4}=\frac {16}{625}$ $a_{5}=(-\frac{2}{5})^{5}=-\frac {32}{3125}$
