Solution by Maple

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

dsolve(2*x^2*diff(y(x),x$2)-3*x*diff(y(x),x)+2*y(x)=0,y(x), singsol=all)
 
\[ y = c_{1} x^{2}+c_{2} \sqrt {x} \]

Solution by Mathematica

Time used: 0.013 (sec). Leaf size: 20

DSolve[2*x^2*D[y[x],{x,2}]-3*x*D[y[x],x]+2*y[x]==0,y[x],x,IncludeSingularSolutions -> True]
 
\[ y(x)\to c_2 x^2+c_1 \sqrt {x} \]
