Integration and Distance Formula Concepts

The video tutorial explains how to find the arc length of a linear function y = 3x - 2 over the interval from 0 to 3. It demonstrates two methods: using integration and the distance formula. The integration method involves calculating the integral of the square root of 1 plus the derivative squared. The distance formula is used as a verification method, applicable because the function is linear. The tutorial emphasizes that the distance formula is only suitable for linear functions, while integration is generally used for other types of functions.
