You merely replaced "return (5 * power(n-1))" with
"return power(k-1)**2". Instead, make the function
split three ways -
if n <= 1 return 5,
else if n is even return the square of something,
else return power(n-1)*5.
Why are people mindlessly propagating the complete
falsity that 5^0 = 5?
You, James, should know better.
