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