First five term of the geometric sequnce is
${1 , 2.718 , 7.389 , 20.086 , 54.598 }$

$a_1=1 ,r=e = 2.7182818 ;n$ th term is $a_n= a_1*r^(n-1)$

$:. a_2= 1*e^(2-1) = e ~~ 2.7182818$ similarly ,

$:. a_3= 1*e^(3-1) = e^2 ~~7.389(3dp)$

$:. a_4= 1*e^(3-1) = e^3 ~~ 20.086(3dp)$

$:. a_5= 1*e^(5-1) = e^4~~ 54.598 (3dp)$
