I get the very nice u_n =(n−1)!−(((n−5))/(24))(9n^3 −37n^2 +70n−48) or if you don′t like n! u_n =(1/2)(2^n −(n^4 /(12))+(n^3 /2)+(n^2 /(12))+((3n)/2)−4)

$$\mathrm{I}\:\mathrm{get}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{very}\:\mathrm{nice} \\ $$$${u}_{{n}} =\left({n}−\mathrm{1}\right)!−\frac{\left({n}−\mathrm{5}\right)}{\mathrm{24}}\left(\mathrm{9}{n}^{\mathrm{3}} −\mathrm{37}{n}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{70}{n}−\mathrm{48}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{or}\:\mathrm{if}\:\mathrm{you}\:\mathrm{don}'\mathrm{t}\:\mathrm{like}\:{n}! \\ $$$${u}_{{n}} =\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\left(\mathrm{2}^{{n}} −\frac{{n}^{\mathrm{4}} }{\mathrm{12}}+\frac{{n}^{\mathrm{3}} }{\mathrm{2}}+\frac{{n}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{12}}+\frac{\mathrm{3}{n}}{\mathrm{2}}−\mathrm{4}\right) \\ $$

only the first 5 numbers are given. the numbers upon the 6^(th) can be any numbers. that means such a question may have infinitely many solutions. there is no reason for you to say that the 6^(th) must be 35.

Usually we search for a polynome: n numbers given ⇒ polynome of degree n−1 In the following cases this gives the red next numbers: 0, 1, 2 0, 1, 1, 0 0, 1, 1, 2, 6 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 0 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 16 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 0 ... Think about it!
