%F From _Peter Bala_, Jan 30 2019: (Start)

%F Let a(n,x) = Product_{k = 0..n} (x - k)/(x + k). Then for positive integer x we have (2*x - 1)*x^2 = Sum_{n >= 0} ((n+1)^5 + n^5)*a(n,x) and (2*x - 1)*x = Sum_{n >= 0} ((n+1)^4 - n^4)*a(n,x). Both identities are also valid for complex x in the half-plane Re(x) > 2. See the Bala link in A036970. Cf. A272378. (End)
