\[ \boxed {y^{\prime \prime }+6 y^{\prime }+9 y=\frac {2 \,{\mathrm e}^{-3 x}}{x^{2}+1}} \]

Solution by Maple

Time used: 0.016 (sec). Leaf size: 37

dsolve(diff(y(x),x$2)+6*diff(y(x),x)+9*y(x)=2*exp(-3*x)/(x^2+1),y(x), singsol=all)
 

\[ y \left (x \right ) = c_{2} {\mathrm e}^{-3 x}+x \,{\mathrm e}^{-3 x} c_{1} +\left (2 x \arctan \left (x \right )-\ln \left (x^{2}+1\right )\right ) {\mathrm e}^{-3 x} \]

Solution by Mathematica
