\begin{align*} x y^{\prime }+a y+b \,x^{n}&=0 \end{align*}

Solution by Maple

Time used: 0.002 (sec). Leaf size: 23

dsolve(x*diff(y(x),x)+a*y(x)+b*x^n=0,y(x), singsol=all)
 
\[ y \left (x \right ) = -\frac {x^{n} b}{a +n}+x^{-a} c_{1} \]

Solution by Mathematica

Time used: 0.074 (sec). Leaf size: 25

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