First, I'd like to express my appreciation for making us old guys (at least this one) catch up on the more recent developments on the cutting edge of technology.
Glad to be of help.

The original formula read: T= 220(1+ 0.2*Machnumber squared)
Okay the equation would go like this
1.) T0 = 220 (1 + 0.2(M)^2)
2.) T0 = 220 (1 + 0.2(5)^2)
3.) T0 = 220 (1 + 0.2(25))
4.) T0 = 220 (1 + 5)
5.) T0 = 220 (1 + 5)
6.) T0 = 220 (6)
7.) T0 = 1320 K

In this case, the 220 is the assumed initial (Freestream) temperature Kelvin.
Which I'm guessing is the outside air temperature they're going to be flying Mach 5 at?
