  • Paper

Define a sequence recursively by x0=5x_0=5 and xn+1=xn2+5xn+4xn+6x_{n+1}=\frac{x_n^2+5x_n+4}{x_n+6}for all nonnegative integers n.n. Let mm be the least positive integer such that xm≤4+1220.x_m\leq 4+\frac{1}{2^{20}}.In which of the following intervals does mm lie?

(A) [9,26](B) [27,80](C) [81,242](D) [243,728](E) [729,∞]\textbf{(A) } [9,26] \textbf{(B) } [27,80] \textbf{(C) } [81,242] \textbf{(D) } [243,728] \textbf{(E) } [729,\infty]
