Answer

$1-5x+\dfrac{25x^2}{2}-\dfrac{125x^3}{6}+\dfrac{625x^4}{24}-...$

Work Step by Step

Consider the Maclaurin Series for $e^x$ as follows: $e^x=1+x+\dfrac{x^2}{2!}+\dfrac{x^3}{3!}+\dfrac{x^4}{4!}+...$ Plug $-5x$ instead of $x$ in the above series. $e^{-5x}=1-5x+\dfrac{(-5x)^2}{2!}+\dfrac{(-5x)^3}{3!}-\dfrac{(-5x)^4}{4!}...$ $\implies 1-5x+\dfrac{25x^2}{2}-\dfrac{125x^3}{6}+\dfrac{625x^4}{24}-...$
