More generally, the following sums are equal:
(1) Sum_{n>=0} binomial(n+k-1, n) * r^n * (q^n + p)^n / (1 + p*q^n*r)^(n+k),
(2) Sum_{n>=0} binomial(n+k-1, n) * r^n * (q^n - p)^n / (1 - p*q^n*r)^(n+k),
FORMULA
G.f.: Sum_{n>=0} (n+1)*(n+2)/2 * x^n * ((1+x)^n + 1)^n / (1 + x*(1+x)^n)^(n+3).
G.f.: Sum_{n>=0} (n+1)*(n+2)/2 * x^n * ((1+x)^n - 1)^n / (1 - x*(1+x)^n)^(n+3).
G.f.: Sum_{n>=0} (n+1)*(n+2)/2 * x^n * Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k) * ( (1+x)^n - (1+x)^k )^(n-k).
G.f.: Sum_{n>=0} (n+1)*(n+2)/2 * x^n * Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k) * ( (1+x)^n + (1+x)^k )^(n-k) * (-1)^k.
G.f.: Sum_{n>=0} (n+1)*(n+2)/2 * x^n * Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k) * Sum_{j=0..n-k} (-1)^j * binomial(n-k,j) * (1 + x)^((n-j)*(n-k)).
FORMULAS INVOLVING TERMS.
