Let k be an integer with k ≥ 4 and η be any real number. Suppose that λ1,λ2,λ3,λ4,λ5 are nonzero real numbers, not all of the same sign and λ1/λ2 is irrational. It is proved that the inequality |λ1p1 + λ2p22 + λ 3p33 + λ 4p44 + λ 5p5k + η| < max 1≤j≤5pj−σ has infinitely many solutions in prime variables p1,p2,p3,p4,p5, where 0 < σ < 5 288 for k = 4, and 0 < σ < 5 6k2(k+1) for k ≥ 5. This gives an improvement of the recent result.
