Find the first five terms of the given sequence (real confusing so work with me here)
U0=1
u1=1 and un=(n) 0n-1 for n(is greater than or equal to) 2

I am guessing by that you mean this:  

u%5B0%5D=1, u%5B1%5D=1 and drawing%28100%2C30%2C0%2C0%2C-.3%2C.2%2Cu%5Bn%5D=n%2Au%5Bn-1%5D%29 for n%3E=2

If not post again being a little
more careful what you type:
 
Let n=2

u%5B0%5D=1, u%5B1%5D=1  and 

drawing%28100%2C30%2C0%2C0%2C-.3%2C.2%2Cu%5Bn%5D=n%2Au%5Bn-1%5D%29 becomes

drawing%28100%2C30%2C0%2C0%2C-.3%2C.2%2Cu%5B2%5D=2%2Au%5B2-1%5D%29

which becomes

u%5B2%5D=2%2Au%5B1%5D
and since u%5B1%5D=1
u%5B2%5D=2%2A%281%29
u%5B2%5D=2

Let n=3

drawing%28100%2C30%2C0%2C0%2C-.3%2C.2%2Cu%5Bn%5D=n%2Au%5Bn-1%5D%29 becomes

drawing%28100%2C30%2C0%2C0%2C-.3%2C.2%2Cu%5B3%5D=3%2Au%5B3-1%5D%29

which becomes
u%5B3%5D=3%2Au%5B2%5D
and since u%5B2%5D=2
u%5B3%5D=3%2A%282%29
u%5B3%5D=6

Let n=4

drawing%28100%2C30%2C0%2C0%2C-.3%2C.2%2Cu%5Bn%5D=n%2Au%5Bn-1%5D%29 becomes

drawing%28100%2C30%2C0%2C0%2C-.3%2C.2%2Cu%5B4%5D=4%2Au%5B4-1%5D%29
which becomes

u%5B4%5D=4%2Au%5B3%5D
and since u%5B3%5D=6
u%5B4%5D=4%2A%286%29
u%5B4%5D=24

Let n=5

drawing%28100%2C30%2C0%2C0%2C-.3%2C.2%2Cu%5Bn%5D=n%2Au%5Bn-1%5D%29 becomes

drawing%28100%2C30%2C0%2C0%2C-.3%2C.2%2Cu%5B5%5D=5%2Au%5B5-1%5D%29 

which becomes

u%5B5%5D=5%2Au%5B4%5D
and since u%5B4%5D=24
u%5B5%5D=5%2A%2824%29
u%5B5%5D=120
