Is it possible to find a continuous function f (y) such that the one-parameter family of differential equations dy/dt = f (y)+ α satisfies both of the following statements?

• For α = 0, the differential equation has exactly one equilibrium point and that equilibrium is a sink.

• For α = 1, the equation has exactly one equilibrium point and that equilibrium is a source.

If so, sketch the graph of one such f (y). If not, why not?
