ode:=diff(y(x),x) = y(x)^2-3*y(x)+2; 
ic:=[y(0) = 3/2]; 
dsolve([ode,op(ic)],y(x), singsol=all);
 

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

✗ Mathematica

ode=D[y[x],x]==y[x]^2-3*y[x]+2; 
ic={y[0]==3/2};

x = symbols("x") 
y = Function("y") 
ode = Eq(-y(x)**2 + 3*y(x) + Derivative(y(x), x) - 2,0) 
ics = {y(0): 3/2}

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