Formula

a(n) = 5^n - 3^n + 2^n.

From Mohammad K. Azarian, Jan 16 2009: (Start)

G.f.: 1/(1-5*x) - 1/(1-3*x) + 1/(1-2*x).

E.g.f.: exp(5*x) - exp(3*x) + exp(2*x). (End)

a(n) = 10*a(n-1) - 31*a(n-2) + 30*a(n-3). - G. C. Greubel, Sep 30 2016

Example

a(4)=560 because 5^4=625, 3^4=81, 2^4=16 and 625-81+16=560.
