"(x+y)^5= ... =19/4" is oviously wrong since x+y = 1; (x+y)^5 has to be 
replaced with x^5+y^5. After that, one can *guess* that the line is 
intended as an illustation of how to compute a(5). However, some 
explanatory *words* are required. Perhaps something like

    Using the equations given in the definition, and x*y = -1/2 which 
follows from them, x^5+y^5 can be transformed step by step to 
.....(perhaps some intermediate results)..... 1-((-25+10)/4) = 1+15/4 = 
19/4. Therefore a(5) = 19.

would do (no square brackets please!). Now it would be clear that this 
is an *example*. And for examples there are %e lines!

Please make some changes to that effect!
