Most quintic polynomials x^5 + 5*x*(5*n^2 + 20*n + 4) + 8*(5*n^2 + 20*n + 4) (with the exception of n=0 or -4 when the polynomial is solvable, or n=-2 when it is reducible) have nonsolvable alternating Galois group A_5 (of order 60) over rational numbers.

FORMULA
G.f.: -x*(29-23*x+4*x^2)/(-1+x)^3. - R. J. Mathar, Nov 14 2007
From Elmo R. Oliveira, Jun 04 2025: (Start)
E.g.f.: -4 + (4 + 25*x + 5*x^2)*exp(x).
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3) for n >= 4. (End)
