Solution by Maple

Time used: 0.0 (sec). Leaf size: 43

dsolve((1-x^2)*diff(y(x),x$2)-8*x*diff(y(x),x)-12*y(x)=0,y(x), singsol=all)
 

\[ y \left (x \right ) = \frac {c_{1} \left (3 x^{2}+1\right )}{\left (x -1\right )^{3} \left (x +1\right )^{3}}+\frac {c_{2} \left (x^{3}+3 x \right )}{\left (x -1\right )^{3} \left (x +1\right )^{3}} \]
