3. A scientist is trying to find a mathematical model for the position of a particle at time t, where t ismeasured in seconds. He eventually defines the position function p(t) in terms of itself as p(t) = (p(t))2 + t.However, this definition of p(t) fails to provide a result for the position of the particle after E seconds (that is,the function is undefined for any t > E). Which of the following is closest to E?
