Suppose an = 2n - 2*an-1 and a0=0
What is a2n?
Write down a few first terms of a sequence:
a0=0a1=2−0=2a2=22−2⋅2=0a3=23−0=23a4=24−2⋅23=0a_0=0\\ a_1=2-0=2\\ a_2=2^2-2\cdot2=0\\ a_3=2^3-0=2^3\\ a_4=2^4-2\cdot2^3=0a0=0a1=2−0=2a2=22−2⋅2=0a3=23−0=23a4=24−2⋅23=0
it is easy to see that the even terms of a sequence are zero, so a2n=0a_{2n}=0a2n=0
