This is the other half of A274032.
a(n) is x1^n + x2^n + x3^n, where x1, x2, x3 are the roots of the polynomial
x^3 + x^2 - 9*x - 1.
x1 = tan(Pi/7)/tan(4*Pi/7),
x2 = tan(4*Pi/7)/tan(2*Pi/7),
x3 = tan(2*Pi/7)/tan(Pi/7).

FORMULA
a(n) = (tan(Pi/7)/tan(4*Pi/7))^n + (tan(4*Pi/7)/tan(2*Pi/7))^n + (tan(2*Pi/7)/tan(Pi/7))^n.
a(n) = -a(n-1) + 9*a(n-2) + a(n-3) for n>2.
