Proving the Validity of 5y^2 + 5y + 1 in Prime Numbers

In summary, the statement is asking to prove if the equation 5y^2 + 5y + 1 is true for all values of y greater than or equal to 1, where y is an integer. If unable to prove it, the negation of the statement should be formed and proven to be true. The conversation also includes a hint to use a script to test for divisibility by 11 and 19.

prove if the statement is true, else form it's negation and prove that is true:

## \forall y \in (x | x \in \mathbb Z , x \geq 1), 5y^2 + 5y + 1 ##

I think it's true, but I can't really even get started to prove it

I really suck at these and need help please, thank you!

There is no statement that could be evaluated as true or false.
It is like "prove that this is true or false: 5".

I guess there is "is prime" missing. Did you test some numbers to check it? Don't just check small numbers, consider larger numbers as well.


Big hint:
There is no known useful formula to generate an arbitrary number of primes without excessive calculations.

Put this text into an *.vbs file and run it:

For y = 1 To 100
z = 5*y*y + 5*y + 1
if (z mod 11)=0 then MsgBox("f(" & y & ") is divisible by 11.")
if (z mod 19)=0 then MsgBox("f(" & y & ") is divisible by 19.")
Next

Where did "divisible by 5" and "divisible by 11" come from?
