Calculating Bounded Area Between Functions

The video tutorial explains how to determine the area bounded by two functions, F(x) = cos(x) and G(x) = sin(x), over a specific interval from π/4 to 5π/4. It highlights the importance of choosing a specific interval due to the infinite intersection points of the functions. The process involves finding the x-coordinates of intersection points, setting up the integral with the top function minus the bottom function, and calculating the definite integral. Reference triangles are used to evaluate trigonometric functions at specific angles, leading to the final calculation of the bounded area.
