COMMENTS

We have the polynomial factorization: n^10+1 = (n^2+1) * (n^8 - n^6 + n^4 - n^2 + 1) Hence after the initial n=1 prime the binomial can only be semiprime if n^2 + 1 is prime and (n^8 - n^6 + n^4 - n^2 + 1) is prime.

EXAMPLE

4^10+1 = 1048577 = 17 * 61681,

16^10+1 = 1099511627777 = 257 * 4278255361,

1010^10+1 = 1104622125411204510010000000001 = 1020101 * 1082855644108970101989901.
