Write the first five terms of the sequence whose general term, a_n, is given as a_n - (-1)^n(-8n). a_1 = a_2 = a_3 = a_4 = a_5 =

an = (-1)^n(-8n)

find first five terms:

a1 plug n=1 : a1 = (-1)^1(-8*1) = 8

a2 plug n=2 : a2 = (-1)^2(-8*2) = -16

a3 plug n=3 ;a3 = (-1)^3(-8*3) = 24

a4 plug n = 4; a4 = (-1)^4*(-8*4) = -32

a5 plug n= 5 ; a5 = (-1)^5*(-8*5) = 40
