The particle motion law is given by
x = 3 + 4t + 3t^2
At the moment of time t=2 s
a) Position
x=3+4×2+3×2^2=23 m
b) Velocity
v(t)=x' (t)=4+6t
v(2)=4+6×2=16 m/s
c) Acceleration
a(t)=x'' (t)=6 m/s^2

Dear Asha Priyadharshini, you are right. d = |x(0) - x(2)| = 20 m

It's wrong! Displacement= 23-3= 20m

Just a difference between starting position x(0) = 3 and final postion x(2) = 23: d = |x(0) - x(2)| = 21 m.
