Evaluating Integrals and Antiderivatives

The video tutorial explains how to evaluate the definite integral of the function 2x^3 + 3x^5 from -2 to 3. It begins by analyzing the graph of the function, noting how the integral's value is affected by the function's position relative to the x-axis. The tutorial then applies the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to find the antiderivative, simplifies the expression, and evaluates it at the given limits. The final calculation involves substituting the limits into the antiderivative and finding the difference, resulting in a final value of 365.
