A097398 Matrix T(m,x(1)), m>=1, x(1)>=2, read by antidiagonals, where T(m,x(1)) gives the position of the first noninteger term in the sequence defined by x(n)=(x(n-1)*(x(n-1)^m+n-1))/n for n>=2 with exponent m and the given starting value x(1). 5

EXAMPLE
T(1,3)=a(2)=7: x(1)=3, x(2)=x(1)*(x(1)^1+2-1)/n=3*(3+2-1)/2=6, x(3)=6*(6+3-1)/3=16, x(4)=16*(16+4-1)/4=76, x(5)=76*(76+5-1)/5=1216, x(6)=1216*(1216+6-1)/6=247456, x(7)=247456*(247456+7-1)/7=8747993810+2/7; i.e., x(7) is the first noninteger term in the sequence x(n) = x(n-1)*(x(n-1)^1+n-1)/n, n>=2, x(1)=3.
