will this always happen?

Is 4 n ( 4 n + 2 ) 4n(4n+2) always an even integer where n Z n\in\mathbb{Z} ?

an even integer must be in the form 2 k 2k where k Z k\in\mathbb{Z}

\therefore it is enough to show that 4 n ( 4 n + 2 ) = 2 k 4n(4n+2)=2k

So, 4 n ( 4 n + 2 ) = 2 2 n ( 4 n + 2 ) = 2 ( 8 n 2 + 4 n ) = 2 k \begin{aligned} 4n(4n+2)\\& =2\cdot 2n(4n+2) \\& =2(8n^2+4n)\\& =2k \end{aligned}

\therefore 4 n ( 4 n + 2 ) 4n(4n+2) will always be a even integer where n Z n\in\mathbb{Z}
