Definite Integrals and Anti-Derivatives

The video tutorial explains how to evaluate the definite integral of the function 3^x + 5 from -3 to 2. It begins by finding the anti-derivative of the function, then substitutes the limits of integration to calculate the exact value. The process involves simplifying expressions and finding a common denominator to subtract fractions. The tutorial concludes with both the exact value and a decimal approximation, emphasizing the importance of providing exact answers unless instructed otherwise.
