Answer

$$p = 4{e^{1 - \frac{1}{t}}} - 1$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & \frac{{dp}}{{dt}} = \frac{{p + 1}}{{{t^2}}} \cr & {\text{separate}} \cr & \frac{{dp}}{{p + 1}} = \frac{1}{{{t^2}}}dt \cr & {\text{integrate both sides}} \cr & \int {\frac{1}{{p + 1}}} dp = \int {\frac{1}{{{t^2}}}dt} \cr & \ln \left| {p + 1} \right| = - \frac{1}{t} + C \cr & {\text{the initial condition }}p\left( 1 \right) = 3{\text{ implies that}} \cr & \ln \left| {3 + 1} \right| = - \frac{1}{1} + C \cr & \ln 4 + 1 = c \cr & \ln \left| {p + 1} \right| = - \frac{1}{t} + \ln 4 + 1 \cr & {\text{solve for }}p \cr & p + 1 = 4{e^{1 - \frac{1}{t}}} \cr & p = 4{e^{1 - \frac{1}{t}}} - 1 \cr} $$
