Solution by Maple

Time used: 0.015 (sec). Leaf size: 15

dsolve([x^2*diff(y(x),x$2)-7*x*diff(y(x),x)+15*y(x)=0,x^3],y(x), singsol=all)
 

\[ y \left (x \right ) = c_{2} x^{5}+c_{1} x^{3} \]

Solution by Mathematica

Time used: 0.01 (sec). Leaf size: 18

DSolve[x^2*y''[x]-7*x*y'[x]+15*y[x]==0,y[x],x,IncludeSingularSolutions -> True]
 

\[ y(x)\to x^3 \left (c_2 x^2+c_1\right ) \]
