Answer
The first 5 terms are 1, 4, 27, 256, 3125. The sequence is not geometric.
Work Step by Step
$a_{n} = (n)^{n}$ is the formula we are given for the nth term of this sequence. To find the first 5 terms, plug in n =1 ,2, 3... and solve. Since the resulting terms (1,4,27,256,3125) do not have a ratio in common they are not part of a geometric series and therefore cannot be represented by a formula for the nth term of a geometric series.
