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

\[ y = -\sqrt {2}\, \tanh \left (\operatorname {arctanh}\left (3 \sqrt {2}\right )+\sqrt {2}\, t \right )+2 \]

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

\[ t - \frac {\sqrt {2} \log {\left (y{\left (t \right )} - 2 - \sqrt {2} \right )}}{4} + \frac {\sqrt {2} \log {\left (y{\left (t \right )} - 2 + \sqrt {2} \right )}}{4} = - \frac {\sqrt {2} \log {\left (\sqrt {2} + 6 \right )}}{4} + \frac {\sqrt {2} \log {\left (6 - \sqrt {2} \right )}}{4} \]
