Solution by Maple

Time used: 0.003 (sec). Leaf size: 13

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

Solution by Mathematica

Time used: 0.011 (sec). Leaf size: 16

DSolve[x^2*D[y[x],{x,2}]+4*x*D[y[x],x]+2*y[x]==0,y[x],x,IncludeSingularSolutions -> True]
 
\[ y(x)\to \frac {c_2 x+c_1}{x^2} \]
