COMMENTS
Consider the transformation 1 + 2x + 3x^2 + 4x^3 + ... + (n+1)*x^n = A_0*(x+3)^0 + A_1*(x+3)^1 + A_2*(x+3)^2 + ... + A_n*(x+3)^n. This sequence gives A_0, ... A_n as the entries in the n-th row of this triangle, starting at n = 0.
FORMULA
T(n,0) = (1-(4*n+5)*(-3)^(n+1))/16, for n >= 0.
T(n,n-1) = -n*(3*n+2), for n >= 1.
Row n sums to (-1)^n*A045883(n+1) = T(n,0) of A246788.
