DSolve[4*(1 + x^2)*y''[x] == x^2 + 4*x*y'[x],y[x],x]
Mathematica raw output
{{y[x] -> (-3*x^2 + 2*x*Sqrt[1 + x^2]*ArcSinh[x] + ArcSinh[x]^2 + 8*x*Sqrt[1 + x
^2]*C[1] + 8*ArcSinh[x]*C[1] + 16*C[2])/16}}
Maple raw input
dsolve(4*(x^2+1)*diff(diff(y(x),x),x) = 4*x*diff(y(x),x)+x^2, y(x),'implicit')
Maple raw output
y(x) = 1/2*x*(1/4*arcsinh(x)+_C1)*(x^2+1)^(1/2)-3/16*x^2+1/2*_C1*arcsinh(x)+1/16
*arcsinh(x)^2+_C2-1/16
