FORMULA

A(n)=17^n sin(2n arctan(1/4)). A recursive formula for T(n) = tan(2n arctan(1/4)) is T(n+1)=(8/15+T(n))/(1-8/15*T(n)). Unsigned A(n) is the absolute value of numerator of T(n)

MAPLE

a[1] := 8/15; for n from 1 to 40 do a[n+1] := (8/15+a[n])/(1-8/15*a[n]):od: seq(abs(numer(a[n])), n=1..40); # a[n]=tan(2n arctan(1/4))
