COMMENTS
(tan(1*Pi/11))^(2*n), (tan(2*Pi/11))^(2*n), (tan(3*Pi/11))^(2*n),(tan(4*Pi/11))^(2*n), (tan(5*Pi/11))^(2*n) are roots of the polynomial x^5 - 55x^4 + 330x^3 - 462x^2 + 165x - 11.
Sum_{k=1..(m-1)/2)} tan^(2n) (k*Pi/m) is an integer when m >= 3 is an odd integer (see AMM link); this sequence is the particular case m = 11. All terms are odd. - Bernard Schott, Apr 24 2022

FORMULA
a(-2) = 141, a(-1) = 15, a(0) = 5, a(1) = 55, a(2) = 2365.
a(n) = +55*a(n-1)-330*a(n-2)+462*a(n-3)-165*a(n-4)-11*a(n-5) for n > 2.
a(n) ~ k^n where k = 48.37415... is the largest real root of x^5 - 55x^4 + 330x^3 - 462x^2 + 165x - 11. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Aug 01 2016
