\[ \left \{ y \left ( x \right ) ={\frac {4\,{\it \_C1}+{\it Arcsinh} \left ( x \right ) }{4}\sqrt {{x}^{2}+1}}-{\frac {x}{4}} \right \} \] Mathematica raw input
DSolve[-x^2 - 4*x*y[x] + 4*(1 + x^2)*y'[x] == 0,y[x],x]
Mathematica raw output
{{y[x] -> (-x + Sqrt[1 + x^2]*ArcSinh[x] + 4*Sqrt[1 + x^2]*C[1])/4}}
Maple raw input
dsolve(4*(x^2+1)*diff(y(x),x)-4*x*y(x)-x^2 = 0, y(x),'implicit')
Maple raw output
y(x) = 1/4*(4*_C1+arcsinh(x))*(x^2+1)^(1/2)-1/4*x
