\begin{align*} y^{\prime \prime }-8 y^{\prime }+16 y&=0 \end{align*}

With initial conditions

\begin{align*} y \left (0\right )&=1\\ y^{\prime }\left (0\right )&=0 \end{align*}

Solution by Maple

Time used: 0.017 (sec). Leaf size: 14

dsolve([diff(y(x),x$2)-8*diff(y(x),x)+16*y(x)=0,y(0) = 1, D(y)(0) = 0],y(x), singsol=all)
 
\[ y = {\mathrm e}^{4 x} \left (1-4 x \right ) \]

Solution by Mathematica

Time used: 0.015 (sec). Leaf size: 16

DSolve[{D[y[x],{x,2}]-8*D[y[x],x]+16*y[x]==0,{y[0]==1,Derivative[1][y][0] ==0}},y[x],x,IncludeSingularSolutions -> True]
 
\[ y(x)\to e^{4 x} (1-4 x) \]
