Step 1 :The sequence is defined by the formula \(a_n = n^n\).
Step 2 :To find the first five terms, we substitute \(n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5\) into the formula, yielding the terms 1, 4, 27, 256, and 3125.
Step 3 :A sequence is geometric if the ratio of any two consecutive terms is constant. We calculate the ratio of \(a_{n+1}/a_n\) for the first few terms and find that they are not constant.
Step 4 :Therefore, the sequence is not geometric, and the common ratio and the nth term in standard form do not exist.
Step 5 :Final Answer: The first five terms of the sequence are \(\boxed{1, 4, 27, 256, 3125}\). The sequence is not geometric, so the common ratio is \(\boxed{\text{DNE}}\) and the nth term in standard form is \(\boxed{\text{DNE}}\).
