Solution by Maple

Time used: 0.014 (sec). Leaf size: 14

dsolve([x^2*diff(y(x),x$2)+5*x*diff(y(x),x)+4*y(x)=0,y(1) = 1, D(y)(1) = 0],y(x), singsol=all)
 
\[ y = \frac {2 \ln \left (x \right )+1}{x^{2}} \]

Solution by Mathematica

Time used: 0.018 (sec). Leaf size: 15

DSolve[{x^2*D[y[x],{x,2}]+5*x*D[y[x],x]+4*y[x]==0,{y[1]==1,Derivative[1][y][1]==0}},y[x],x,IncludeSingularSolutions -> True]
 
\[ y(x)\to \frac {2 \log (x)+1}{x^2} \]
