a_n=5 \ for \ n=1 \\
a_n=-10 \ for \ n=2 \\
a_n=20 \ for \ n=3

You can see it's a geometric sequence because the ratio is constant (\frac{a_3}{a_2}=\frac{a_2}{a_1}).
The nth term of a geometric sequence:
a_n=a_1 \times r^{n-1}

a_1=5 \\
r=\frac{a_2}{a_1}=\frac{-10}{5}=-2 \\ \\
a_n=5(-2)^{n-1}

It has to be the sum for term 4 through term 15, so n=4 and the number above the sigma is 15.

Your answer:
\sum^{15}_{n=4} 5(-2)^{n-1}
