Item 2.6.14.e.

Careful to actually use induction here. The base case: \(2^2 = 4\text{.}\) The inductive case: assume \((2n)^2\) is divisible by 4 and consider \((2n+2)^2 = (2n)^2 + 4n + 4\text{.}\) This is divisible by 4 because \(4n +4\) clearly is, and by our inductive hypothesis, so is \((2n)^2\text{.}\)
