I have the sequence f(n) satify the conditions

f(n) = 4*f(n-1)-2*f(n-2), f(1) = 1, f(2) = 28.

I find the formula of f(n)

rsolve({f(1) = 1, f(2) = 28, f(n) = 4*f(n-1)-2*f(n-2)}, {f})

I got

f(n) = (-25*sqrt(2)*(1/4)-6)*(2-sqrt(2))^n+(25*sqrt(2)*(1/4)-6)*(2+sqrt(2))^n

Is there an integeral number k satisfy the equation f(n) = k^2, (k <> 0) ?
