Polynexus numbers of order 6.

A polynexus (subtractive) function is composed of two or more subtracted nexus numbers divided by an integer x. The general form of the formula is a(n)=((n^p-(n-1)^p)-(n^q-(n-1)^q))/x, where n, p, q and x are integers.

Already known: ((n^5-(n-1)^5) - (n^3-(n-1)^3))/24, giving A006322 for n>1; ((n^4-(n-1)^4) - (n^2-(n-1)^2))/12, giving A000330; ((n^3-(n-1)^3) - (n^1-(n-1)^1))/6, giving A000217; ((n^2-(n-1)^2) - (n^1-(n-1)^1))/2, giving n; ((n^2-(n-1)^2) - (n^0-(n-1)^0))/1, giving 2*n-1. In those examples, x is equal to 1,2,6,12,24, and 3 is also possible.
