5, term in this sequence
-30, second term in this sequence; as we can see, we will get this one if we multiply 5 by -6
5%2A%28-6%29=-30
180, third term in this sequence, we can applay same rule
-30%2A%28-6%29=180
and fourth term in this sequence
180%2A%28-6%29=-1080
so,the pattern is -6x, and x=5 is first term in this sequence
