\[ \boxed {y^{\prime \prime \prime }-3 y^{\prime \prime }-y^{\prime }+3 y=x^{2} {\mathrm e}^{x}} \]

Solution by Maple

Time used: 0.0 (sec). Leaf size: 31

dsolve(diff(y(x),x$3)-3*diff(y(x),x$2)-diff(y(x),x)+3*y(x)=x^2*exp(x),y(x), singsol=all)
 

\[ y \left (x \right ) = c_{2} {\mathrm e}^{-x}+c_{3} {\mathrm e}^{3 x}-\frac {\left (x^{3}+\frac {3}{2} x -12 c_{1} \right ) {\mathrm e}^{x}}{12} \]

Solution by Mathematica
