Solution by Maple

Time used: 0.003 (sec). Leaf size: 15

dsolve(t^2*diff(y(t),t$2)- 4*t*diff(y(t),t)-6*y(t) = 0,y(t), singsol=all)
 
\[ y = \frac {c_1 \,t^{7}+c_2}{t} \]

Solution by Mathematica

Time used: 0.011 (sec). Leaf size: 18

DSolve[t^2*D[y[t],{t,2}]-4*t*D[y[t],t]-6*y[t]==0,y[t],t,IncludeSingularSolutions -> True]
 
\[ y(t)\to \frac {c_2 t^7+c_1}{t} \]
