DSolve[12*y''[x] + 8*x*y'''[x] + x^2*y''''[x] == 0,y[x],x]
Mathematica raw output
{{y[x] -> (C[1] + 3*x*C[2])/(6*x^2) + C[3] + x*C[4]}}
Maple raw input
dsolve(x^2*diff(diff(diff(diff(y(x),x),x),x),x)+8*x*diff(diff(diff(y(x),x),x),x)+12*diff(diff(y(x),x),x) = 0, y(x),'implicit')
Maple raw output
y(x) = _C1+_C2/x+_C3*x+_C4/x^2
