FORMULA
a(n) = A009766(n+5, 5) = (n+1)*binomial(n+10, 4)/5.
G.f.: (42 - 120*x + 135*x^2 - 70*x^3 + 14*x^4)/(1-x)^6; numerator polynomial is N(2;4, x) from A062991.
a(n) = binomial(n+9,5) - binomial(n+9,3). - Zerinvary Lajos, Jul 19 2006
a(n) = A214292(n+9, 4). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jul 12 2012
From Amiram Eldar, Sep 06 2022: (Start)
Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = 2509/63504.
Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/a(n) = 951395/63504 - 1360*log(2)/63. (End)
