Definite Integrals and Graphing

This video tutorial demonstrates how to use a free online graphing calculator to graph integrand functions and evaluate definite integrals. It covers the process of entering functions, adjusting the graph window, and calculating integrals with specific limits. The tutorial includes examples with quadratic and sine functions, explaining how to interpret the results as areas under the curve. The video concludes with a summary of the calculated integrals and their significance.
