dsolve([4*diff(y(t),t$2)-4*diff(y(t),t)+y(t)=0,y(0) = 0, D(y)(0) = 3],y(t), singsol=all)
 

\[ y \left (t \right ) = 3 t \,{\mathrm e}^{\frac {t}{2}} \]

Solution by Mathematica

Time used: 0.014 (sec). Leaf size: 15

DSolve[{4*y''[t]-4*y'[t]+y[t]==0,{y[0]==0,y'[0]==3}},y[t],t,IncludeSingularSolutions -> True]
 

\[ y(t)\to 3 e^{t/2} t \]
