ode:=diff(y(t),t) = y(t)^2-4*y(t)-12; 
ic:=[y(0) = 5]; 
dsolve([ode,op(ic)],y(t), singsol=all);
 

\[ y = \frac {42-2 \,{\mathrm e}^{8 t}}{{\mathrm e}^{8 t}+7} \]

✗ Mathematica

ode=D[y[t],t]==y[t]^2-4*y[t]-12; 
ic={y[0]==5}; 
DSolve[{ode,ic},y[t],t,IncludeSingularSolutions->True]
 

{}

✗ Sympy

from sympy import * 
t = symbols("t") 
y = Function("y") 
ode = Eq(-y(t)**2 + 4*y(t) + Derivative(y(t), t) + 12,0) 
ics = {y(0): 5}
