5,-25 , 125, -625, 3125 

the first term \(a_{1}=5\)

the second term \(a_{2}=-25\)

the common ration \(r= \frac{a_{2}}{a_{1}}\)

\(r=\frac{-25}{5}=-5\)

the given series a G.P 

the nth term of a G.P is given by  \(a_{n}=ar^{n-1}\)

here to find 6th term (n=6)

\(a_{6}=5(-5)^{6-1}\)

\(a_{6}=5(-5)^{5}\)

\(a_{6}=-15625\)
