\[ \boxed {t^{2} y^{\prime \prime }-\left (t^{2}+2 t \right ) y^{\prime }+\left (t +2\right ) y=0} \] Given that one solution of the ode is \begin {align*} y_1 &= t \end {align*}

Solution by Maple

Time used: 0.015 (sec). Leaf size: 13

dsolve([t^2*diff(y(t),t$2)-(t^2+2*t)*diff(y(t),t)+(t+2)*y(t)=0,t],y(t), singsol=all)
 

\[ y \left (t \right ) = c_{1} t +c_{2} t \,{\mathrm e}^{t} \]

Solution by Mathematica

Time used: 0.032 (sec). Leaf size: 16

DSolve[t^2*y''[t]-(t^2+2*t)*y'[t]+(t+2)*y[t]==0,y[t],t,IncludeSingularSolutions -> True]
 

\[ y(t)\to t \left (c_2 e^t+c_1\right ) \]
