We seek to show that y 1 = x 2 satisfies:
x 2 y - ( x 2 + 4 x ) y + ( 2 x + 6 ) y = 0
Differentiating the given function we have:
y 1   = 2 x
y 1 = 2
And substituting into the given ODE, we have:
x 2 y - ( x 2 + 4 x ) y + ( 2 x + 6 ) y
                    = x 2 ( 2 ) - ( x 2 + 4 x ) ( 2 x ) + ( 2 x + 6 ) ( x 2 )
                    = 2 x 2 - 2 x 3 - 8 x 2 + 2 x 3 + 6 x 2
                    = 0         QED
