Understanding Area Bounded by Parabolas

The video tutorial explains how to find the value of C such that the area between two parabolas, y = x^2 - c^2 and y = c^2 - x^2, is 50. It reviews the method of finding the area between two curves using integration, identifies the points of intersection, sets up the integral, and solves for C. The tutorial concludes with calculating the exact and approximate values of C.
