\begin{align*} \left (x^{2}+1\right ) y^{\prime \prime }+x y^{\prime }+a x&=0 \end{align*}

Solution by Maple

Time used: 0.001 (sec). Leaf size: 14

dsolve((1+x^2)*diff(y(x),x$2)+x*diff(y(x),x)+a*x=0,y(x), singsol=all)
 
\[ y \left (x \right ) = c_{1} \operatorname {arcsinh}\left (x \right )-a x +c_{2} \]

Solution by Mathematica

Time used: 0.035 (sec). Leaf size: 17

DSolve[(1+x^2)*D[y[x],{x,2}]+x*D[y[x],x]+a*x==0,y[x],x,IncludeSingularSolutions -> True]
 
\[ y(x)\to -a x+c_1 \text {arcsinh}(x)+c_2 \]
