The video tutorial explains how to find the indefinite integral or antiderivative of a function. It begins by expanding the product of two binomials and then sets up the integral in expanded form. The tutorial applies integration formulas, specifically the power rule, to find the antiderivative. The expression is then simplified, and the antiderivative is represented as a function. Finally, the video suggests verifying the solution by finding the derivative of the antiderivative to ensure it matches the original integrand.
