%C Compare with the identities:

%C Sum_{k = 0..2*n} (-1)^(n+k)*binomial(3*n,k)^2*binomial(3*n - k,n)^2 = binomial(3n,n)^2*binomial(2*n,n) = A275047(n), and

%C Sum_{k = 0..2*n} (-1)^k*binomial(3*n,k)*binomial(3*n - k,n)^3 = binomial(3*n,n)*binomial(2*n,n) = (3*n)!/n!^3 = A006480(n). (Sprugnoli, Section 2.9, Table 10, p. 123).

%C Sum_{k = 0..2*n} (-1)^k*binomial(2*n,k)*binomial(3*n - k,n)^2 = A000984(n). (End)
