The video tutorial explains how to calculate the volume of a solid formed by rotating a region bounded by the function y = e^(3x + 2), x = 0, x = 0.8, and y = 0 about the x-axis. The disk method is used, where the volume is determined by integrating the square of the function with respect to x. The tutorial covers setting up the integral, using technology to find the solution, and performing the integration manually. The final volume is approximately 115.137 cubic units.
