\[ \boxed {\left (-t^{2}+1\right ) y^{\prime \prime }-2 t y^{\prime }+6 y=0} \]

Solution by Maple

Time used: 0.0 (sec). Leaf size: 44

dsolve((1-t^2)*diff(y(t),t$2)-2*t*diff(y(t),t)+6*y(t)=0,y(t), singsol=all)
 

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