Answer

$a_{1}=0;$ $a_{2}=\dfrac {3}{5};$ $a_{3}=\dfrac {4}{5};$ $a_{4}=\dfrac {15}{17};$ $a_{5}=\dfrac {12}{13}$

Work Step by Step

$a_{1}=\dfrac {1^{2}-1}{1^{2}+1}=0;$ $a_{2}=\dfrac {2^{2}-1}{2^{2}+1}=\dfrac {3}{5};$ $a_{3}=\dfrac {3^{2}-1}{3^{2}+1}=\dfrac {4}{5};$ $a_{4}=\dfrac {4^{2}-1}{4^{2}+1}=\dfrac {15}{17};$ $a_{5}=\dfrac {5^{2}-1}{5^{2}+1}=\dfrac {24}{26}=\dfrac {12}{13}$
