You can use a_{n} to represent 
, a_{n-1} to represent 
.
For the first one, what it is saying is that (the nth term of the sequence) is the square of the previous term , plus 1:
^2 + 1 = 2)
^2 + 1 = 5)
^2 + 1 = 26)
^2 + 1 = 677)
The second one says that is equal to the quantity 
, for all integers 
.
