2024/046) Show that cube of a positive integer can be written as difference of 2 squares

 Proof:

A cube is either even or odd

If it is odd we can write it as 2n + 1 which can be written as (n+1)^2 - n^2

If it is even the the number is even say 2n so cube is 8k where n= k^3  can be written as (2k+1)^2 -(2k-1)^2
