ode:=diff(y(x),x) = -2*y(x)+y(x)^2; 
ic:=[y(0) = 1]; 
dsolve([ode,op(ic)],y(x), singsol=all);
 

\[ y = \frac {2}{1+{\mathrm e}^{2 x}} \]

✗ Mathematica

ode=D[y[x],x]==-2*y[x]+y[x]^2; 
ic={y[0]==1};

y = Function("y") 
ode = Eq(-y(x)**2 + 2*y(x) + Derivative(y(x), x),0) 
ics = {y(0): 1} 
dsolve(ode,func=y(x),ics=ics)
 

\[ y{\left (x \right )} = - \frac {2}{- e^{2 x} - 1} \]
