Comments

The positive/negative roots of ax^2 + bx + c = 0 combine with the negative/positive roots of (ck^2 - bk + c)x^2 +(2ck - b)x + c = 0 to define a point on the hyperbola kxy + x + y = 0. To shift such points (roots) to the hyperbola’s other line, put the coefficients of these equations into the formula Q = ax^2 + (4a/k - b)x + 4a/k^2 + 2b/k + c = 0. For a,b,c = 1,-1,-1 and k = 1,2,3..., the coefficients given by Q are the sequence 1,5,5; 1,3,1; 1,7/3,1/9... Clearing fractions and summing a+b+c gives the sequence.
The negative of the n-th term is the n+4th term of the c coefficient sequence A229526.

Examples

			For k = 5, the coefficients are 1, 9/5, -11/25. Clearing fractions, 25, 45, -11 and 25 + 45 -11 = 59 = a[5].
		

Crossrefs

The a coefficients are A168077, b coefficients are A171621, c coefficients are A229526.
