In order to find each of the terms, all we need to do is plug the different values for nn into the expression (from 1 to 5):

a1=(21)=2a2=2(22)=24=8a3=24(23)=246=48a4=246(24)=2468=384a5=2468(25)=246810=3840\begin{align*} a_1 &= (2 \cdot 1) = 2 \\ a_2 &= 2 \cdot (2 \cdot 2) = 2 \cdot 4 = 8 \\ a_3 &= 2 \cdot 4 \cdot (2 \cdot 3) = 2 \cdot 4 \cdot 6 = 48 \\ a_4 &= 2 \cdot 4 \cdot 6 \cdot (2 \cdot 4) = 2 \cdot 4 \cdot 6 \cdot 8 = 384 \\ a_5 &= 2 \cdot 4 \cdot 6 \cdot 8 \cdot (2 \cdot 5) = 2 \cdot 4 \cdot 6 \cdot 8 \cdot 10 = 3840 \end{align*}
