Table of n, a(n) for n=1..22.

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (10,-25).

Formula

a(n) = (n+5)*5^(n-1).

a(n) = 10*a(n-1)-25*a(n-2). G.f.: -x*(25*x-6) / (5*x-1)^2. - Colin Barker, Jun 18 2013

From Amiram Eldar, Jan 18 2021: (Start)

Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = 15625*log(5/4) - 41837/12.

Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = 34187/12 - 15625*log(6/5). (End)
