This is a second-order linear homogeneous differential equation:

\[
64y'' + 48y' + 25y = 0
\]

with initial conditions:

\[
y(1) = 8, \quad y'(1) = 4.
\]

### Step 1: Solve the characteristic equation

The corresponding characteristic equation is obtained by assuming a solution of the form \( y(t) = e^{rt} \):

\[
64r^2 + 48r + 25 = 0.
\]

We can solve this quadratic equation using the quadratic formula:

\[
r = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a},
\]

where \(a = 64\), \(b = 48\), and \(c = 25\).

\[
r = \frac{-48 \pm \sqrt{48^2 - 4(64)(25)}}{2(64)} = \frac{-48 \pm \sqrt{2304 - 6400}}{128} = \frac{-48 \pm \sqrt{-4096}}{128}.
\]

Since the discriminant is negative, we will have complex roots:

\[
r = \frac{-48 \pm 64i}{128} = \frac{-3}{8} \pm \frac{i}{2}.
\]

Thus, the roots are \(r_1 = \frac{-3}{8} + \frac{i}{2}\) and \(r_2 = \frac{-3}{8} - \frac{i}{2}\).

### Step 2: General solution

The general solution for the differential equation with complex roots is:

\[
y(t) = e^{\alpha t} (C_1 \cos(\beta t) + C_2 \sin(\beta t)),
\]

where \(\alpha = -\frac{3}{8}\) and \(\beta = \frac{1}{2}\). Therefore, the solution becomes:

\[
y(t) = e^{-\frac{3}{8}t} \left(C_1 \cos\left(\frac{1}{2}t\right) + C_2 \sin\left(\frac{1}{2}t\right)\right).
\]

### Step 3: Apply initial conditions

#### Condition 1: \(y(1) = 8\)

Substitute \(t = 1\) and \(y = 8\):

\[
8 = e^{-\frac{3}{8}} \left(C_1 \cos\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) + C_2 \sin\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\right).
\]

#### Condition 2: \(y'(1) = 4\)

First, we differentiate the general solution:

\[
y'(t) = e^{-\frac{3}{8}t} \left(-\frac{3}{8}(C_1 \cos\left(\frac{1}{2}t\right) + C_2 \sin\left(\frac{1}{2}t\right)) + \frac{1}{2}(-C_1 \sin\left(\frac{1}{2}t\right) + C_2 \cos\left(\frac{1}{2}t\right))\right).
\]

Now, substitute \(t = 1\) and \(y'(1) = 4\):

\[
4 = e^{-\frac{3}{8}} \left(-\frac{3}{8}(C_1 \cos\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) + C_2 \sin\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)) + \frac{1}{2}(-C_1 \sin\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) + C_2 \cos\left(\frac{1}{2}\right))\right).
\]

### Step 4: Solve for \(C_1\) and \(C_2\)

Now we have a system of equations to solve for \(C_1\) and \(C_2\).

Do you want further details on solving the system? If so, we can continue by calculating specific values for \(C_1\) and \(C_2\).

Here are some follow-up questions to help with your understanding:
1. What are the characteristics of solutions to second-order linear homogeneous differential equations?
2. Why do complex roots in characteristic equations lead to oscillatory solutions?
3. How does the presence of an exponential factor affect the behavior of the solution over time?
4. What is the significance of initial conditions in solving differential equations?
5. Can you think of physical systems where this type of differential equation might appear?

**Tip:** When solving second-order differential equations, always verify that you have the correct number of independent solutions corresponding to the roots of the characteristic equation.
