Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (9, -36, 84, -126, 126, -84, 36, -9, 1).
FORMULA
a(n) = 5*binomial(n, 5)*(454 - 409*n + 66*n^2 + n^3).
a(n) = 9*a(n-1)-36*a(n-2)+84*a(n-3)-126*a(n-4)+126*a(n-5)-84*a(n-6)+36*a(n-7)-9*a(n-8)+a(n-9).
G.f.: (40*x^5*(-23 - 237*x + 102*x^2 + 116*x^3))/(-1 + x)^9.
