\[ \boxed {y^{\prime \prime }+4 y^{\prime }+4 y=\frac {{\mathrm e}^{-2 t}}{t^{2}}} \]

Solution by Maple

Time used: 0.016 (sec). Leaf size: 28

dsolve(diff(y(t),t$2)+4*diff(y(t),t)+4*y(t) = t^(-2)*exp(-2*t),y(t), singsol=all)
 

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

Solution by Mathematica
