How to solve $$a_n=4a_{n-1}-4a_{n-2}$$
$a_0=6$ and $a_1=8$



I found first few terms as $$6,8,8,0,... $$
But I don't know how to proceed.

Make its characteristic equation: $$x^2-4x+4=0$$
Solving which gives repeated root as $x=2$

So, its solution will be like: $$a_n=(A+Bn)2^n$$
Just substitute for initial conditions and you get $A=6$ and $B=-2$




So, $$a_n=(6-2n)cdot2^n$$
