Suppose you have a function describing position of a particle in meters at a time:

f(t) = e^(3t^2)

Then, as you say, the first and second derivatives will be the position:

v(t) = 6 t e ^(3t^2) and
a(t) = 6 e ^ (3t^2) + 36 t ^2 e ^ (3t^2).

To see how displacement works, plug in some values:

f(0) = 1m
f(.5) = 6.351m
f(1) = 120.513m

So in the first .5 seconds, the particle is at position 6.351m, but since it started at position 1m, it has only traveled a distance of 5.351m.

I don't want to give it away, so I won't say more, but that should give you an idea of how to figure out the problem.
