Multiple Choice

Write the first five terms of the sequence $a _ { n } = \frac { - 3 + \left( - 5 ^ { n } \right) } { n ! }$ . Assume that n begins with 1.

• A) \(a _ { 1 } = - 2 , a _ { 2 } = 14 , a _ { 3 } = - \frac { 61 } { 3 } , a _ { 4 } = \frac { 157 } { 6 } , a _ { 5 } = - \frac { 1561 } { 60 }\)
• B) \(a _ { 1 } = 8 , a _ { 2 } = - 11 , a _ { 3 } = \frac { 64 } { 3 } , a _ { 4 } = - \frac { 311 } { 12 } , a _ { 5 } = \frac { 391 } { 15 }\)
• C) \(a _ { 1 } = - 2 , a _ { 2 } = 14 , a _ { 3 } = \frac { 61 } { 3 } , a _ { 4 } = - \frac { 311 } { 6 } , a _ { 5 } = - \frac { 391 } { 15 }\)
• D) \(a _ { 1 } = 2 , a _ { 2 } = - 14 , a _ { 3 } = \frac { 61 } { 3 } , a _ { 4 } = - \frac { 157 } { 6 } , a _ { 5 } = \frac { 1561 } { 60 }\)
• E) \(a _ { 1 } = - 8 , a _ { 2 } = 11 , a _ { 3 } = - \frac { 64 } { 3 } , a _ { 4 } = \frac { 311 } { 12 } , a _ { 5 } = - \frac { 391 } { 15 }\)
