$${C}_{\mathrm{4}} ^{{n}} +{C}_{\mathrm{2}} ^{{n}} +\mathrm{1}=\frac{{n}!}{\mathrm{4}!\left({n}−\mathrm{4}\right)!}+\frac{{n}!}{\mathrm{2}!\left({n}−\mathrm{2}\right)!}+\mathrm{1}= \\ $$$$=\frac{{n}^{\mathrm{4}} −\mathrm{6}{n}^{\mathrm{3}} +\mathrm{23}{n}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{18}{n}+\mathrm{24}}{\mathrm{24}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{which}\:\mathrm{gives}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{right}\:\mathrm{values}\:\mathrm{for}\:{n}\in\mathbb{N} \\ $$
