Substituting $n=1,2,3,4,5,$ we obtain

$a_{1}=(-1)^{1-1} 5^{1+1}=5^{2}=25$

$a_{2}=(-1)^{2-1} 5^{2+1}=-5^{3}=-125$

$a_{3}=(-1)^{3-1} 5^{3+1}=5^{4}=625$

$a_{4}=(-1)^{4-1} 5^{4+1}=-5^{5}=-3125$

$a^{5}=(-1)^{5-1} 5^{5+1}=5^{6}=15625$

Therefore, the required terms are $25,-125,625,-3125$ and $15625 .$
