Multiple Choice

Write the first five terms of the sequence defined recursively.
- $$a _ { 1 } = 6 , a _ { n } = - \frac { 1 } { a _ { n - 1 } }$$

• A) \(a _ { 1 } = 6 , a _ { 2 } = \frac { 1 } { 6 } , a _ { 3 } = \frac { 1 } { 36 } , a _ { 4 } = \frac { 1 } { 216 } , a _ { 5 } = \frac { 1 } { 1,296 }\)
• B) \(a _ { 1 } = 6 , a _ { 2 } = \frac { 1 } { 6 } , a _ { 3 } = 6 , a _ { 4 } = \frac { 1 } { 6 } , a _ { 5 } = 6\)
• C) \(a _ { 1 } = 6 , a _ { 2 } = - \frac { 1 } { 6 } , a _ { 3 } = \frac { 1 } { 36 } , a _ { 4 } = - \frac { 1 } { 216 } , a _ { 5 } = \frac { 1 } { 1,296 }\)
• D) \(a _ { 1 } = 6 , a _ { 2 } = - \frac { 1 } { 6 } , a _ { 3 } = 6 , a _ { 4 } = - \frac { 1 } { 6 } , a _ { 5 } = 6\)
