COMMENTS

Theorem: y = kx^3+x+1 is not prime for k = 4,18,48,...,n(n+1)^2. Proof: n(n+1)^2x^3 + x + 1 = ((n+1)x+1)((n^2 + n)x^2 - nx + 1). Thus (n+1)x+1 divides y. This could possibly be used as a pre-test for compositeness. This sequence is the same as beginning with the third term of A045991.

FORMULA

k = n(n+1)^2, n=1,2,3,...
