the equation of the path is

y = 4x2

so at  x=1

y = 4

and at x = 2

y = 16

since this is a square function , the path is a parabola.

so we need to draw the graph of the equation and use equation of a parabola i.e y = 4ax

in the given function a = 1

so the vertex of the parabola is (1,0)

at x = 1 ,

the point is coinciding with the x axis , and at 2 ,it is above the point in the first quadrant at a point

distance travelled and displacement is almost the same !
