Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

Primes or negative values of primes in the sequence b(n) = 47*n^2 - 1701*n + 10181, n >= 0.

%C This is a transformed version of the polynomial P(x) = 47*x^2 + 9*x - 5209 whose absolute value gives 43 distinct primes for -24 <= x <= 18, found by G. W. Fung in 1988. - _Hugo Pfoertner_, Dec 13 2019
