For the numbers k such that these forms are prime:
a1(b): numbers k such that (b-1)*b^k-1 is prime
a2(b): numbers k such that (b-1)*b^k+1 is prime
a3(b): numbers k such that (b+1)*b^k-1 is prime
a4(b): numbers k such that (b+1)*b^k+1 is prime (no such k exists when b == 1 (mod 3))
a5(b): numbers k such that b^k-(b-1) is prime
a6(b): numbers k such that b^k+(b-1) is prime
a7(b): numbers k such that b^k-(b+1) is prime
a8(b): numbers k such that b^k+(b+1) is prime (no such k exists when b == 1 (mod 3)).
Using "-------" if there is currently no OEIS sequence and "xxxxxxx" if no such k exists (this occurs only for a4(b) and a8(b) for b == 1 (mod 3)):
