It appears that you are given A%5Bn%5D+=+%28A%5Bn-1%5D%29%5E2

There is not enough information given. Your teacher or textbook should give you the first term A%5B1%5D

Please double check the problem and update your post. Thank you.

1.   I read your formula as 

     A%5Bn%5D = A%5Bn-1%5D%5E2.

     Is it correct ? Please confirm.


2.  If my reading is correct, then, to answer your question, we must know (and you must provide it) the first term of the sequence.
