ace of 1=9, ace of n=((ace of n)-1)/(n^2); for n is greater than or equal to 2. Write the first four terms of the recursive sequence. (the *ace of whatever deal, is just compensating for not having a subscript symbol). Please help!

There is a subscript/superscript facility under Format.

Do you mean                                                                                                                                                          

ace1 = 9

acen = acen-1/n2 ?

If so then ace2 = ace1/22 or ace2 = 9/4

ace3 = ace2/32 or ace3 = (9/4)/9 or ace3 = 1/4

ace4 = ace3/42 or ace4 = (1/4)/16 or ace4 = 1/64

 etc.
