This is a geometric sequence with a=2, r= -3/2.
Therefore,
a₁ = 2
a₂ = 2*(-3/2) = -3
a₃ = 2*(-3/2)² = 9/2 = 4.5
a₄ = 2(-3/2)³ = -27/4 = -6.75
a₅ = 2(-3/2)⁴ = 81/8 = 10.125

Answer:
In fractions, the first five terms are
     2, -3, 9/2, -27/4, 81/8
In decimals, the first five terms are
     2.000, -3.000, 4.500, -6.750, 10.125
