\[ \boxed {x^{2} y^{\prime \prime }-4 x y^{\prime }+6 y=0} \] With initial conditions \begin {align*} [y \left (2\right ) = 4, y^{\prime }\left (1\right ) = 0] \end {align*}

Solution by Maple

Time used: 0.0 (sec). Leaf size: 15

dsolve([x^2*diff(y(x),x$2)-4*x*diff(y(x),x)+6*y(x)=0,y(2) = 4, D(y)(1) = 0],y(x), singsol=all)
 

\[ y \left (x \right ) = 2 x^{3}-3 x^{2} \]

Solution by Mathematica

Time used: 0.019 (sec). Leaf size: 14

DSolve[{x^2*y''[x]-4*x*y'[x]+6*y[x]==0,{y'[1]==0,y[2]==4}},y[x],x,IncludeSingularSolutions -> True]
