%N a(n) = n*(n+5).

%C a(m) where m is a positive integer are the only positive integer values of t for which the Binet-de Moivre formula of the recurrence b(n) = 5*b(n-1) + t*b(n-2) with b(0)=0 and b(1)=1 has a root which is a square. In particular sqrt(5^2+4*t) is an integer since 5^2 + 4*t = 5^2 + 4*a(m) = (2*m+5)^2. Thus the characteristic roots are r1=m+5 and r2=-m. - _Felix P. Muga II_, Mar 27 2014
