Question 24

Define a sequence recursively by $x_0=5$ and $$
x_{n+1}=\frac{x_n^2+5x_n+4}{x_n+6}
$$ for all nonnegative integers $n.$ Let $m$ be the least positive integer such that $$
x_m\leq 4+\frac{1}{2^{20}}.
$$ In which of the following intervals does $m$ lie?
  1. $ [9,26] $
  2. $ [27,80] $
  3. $ [81,242] $
  4. $ [243,728] $
  5. $ [729,\infty) $
