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?
A. 0.25 B. 0.33 C. 0.50 D. 1.00 E. NOTA
4. For some continuous function f(x), f(1) = 4 and f ′(1) = 0. The function g(x) is defined as g(x) = f ′′(x).If g(1) = 3, then f(x) has which of the following at x = 1?
