To find the first five terms of the sequence defined by the general term \( a_n = -5^n \), we will calculate the values for \( n = 1, 2, 3, 4, \) and \( 5 \).
1. For \( n = 1 \):
\[
a_1 = -5^1 = -5
\]
2. For \( n = 2 \):
\[
a_2 = -5^2 = -25
\]
3. For \( n = 3 \):
\[
a_3 = -5^3 = -125
\]
4. For \( n = 4 \):
\[
a_4 = -5^4 = -625
\]
5. For \( n = 5 \):
\[
a_5 = -5^5 = -3125
\]
Thus, the first five terms of the sequence are:
\[
-5, -25, -125, -625, -3125
\]
1. For \( n = 1 \):

\[
-5, -25, -125, -625, -3125
