Evaluating Definite Integrals and Antiderivatives

The video tutorial explains how to evaluate a definite integral by first finding the antiderivative using integration formulas. It then applies the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to compute the integral's value by evaluating the antiderivative at the upper and lower limits. The tutorial simplifies the expression and demonstrates the calculation process. Finally, it provides a graphical interpretation, showing the integral as the area under the curve, reinforcing the concept with a visual representation.
