Answer

$a_{1}=-2$, $a_{2}=2$, $a_{3}=-\displaystyle \frac{8}{3}$, $a_{4}=4$, $a_{10}=\displaystyle \frac{512}{5}$

Work Step by Step

$a_{1}=(-1)^{1}\displaystyle \frac{2^{1}}{1}=-2$, $a_{2}=(-1)^{2}\displaystyle \frac{2^{2}}{2}=2$, $a_{3}=(-1)^{3}\displaystyle \frac{2^{3}}{3}=-\frac{8}{3}$, $a_{4}=(-1)^{4}\displaystyle \frac{2^{4}}{4}=4$, $a_{10}=(-1)^{10}\displaystyle \frac{2^{10}}{10}=\frac{1024}{10}=\frac{512}{5}$
