COMMENTS
Evaluating this triangle of polynomials at different values of x leads to interesting integer triangles. For instance at x = 0 it gives the Motzkin triangle A064189 (A026300), at x = 1 it counts rooted polyominoes A038622; at x = 2 it gives A126954 and at x =-1 gives A089942; x = 1/2 and scaling gives A301477.

FORMULA
P(n,k) = Sum_{j=0..n-k}binomial(n,j)*hypergeom([-j/2,1/2-j/2],[n-j+2],4)*x^(n-j-k).
T(n,k) is the list of the coefficients of P(n,k) in ascending order.
Row sums are powers of 3, row lengths are the triangular numbers.

9 + 12 x + 9 x^2 + 4 x^3 + x^4, 12 + 9 x + 4 x^2 + x^3, 9 + 4 x + x^2, 4 + x, 1
.
Triangle of coefficients starts:
1
1, 1, 1
2, 2, 1, 2, 1, 1
4, 5, 3, 1, 5, 3, 1, 3, 1, 1
9, 12, 9, 4, 1, 12, 9, 4, 1, 9, 4, 1, 4, 1, 1
