Understanding Definite Integrals and Antiderivatives

The video tutorial explains how to evaluate the integral of 3x squared from 0 to 4 using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. It begins by identifying the antiderivative of the function using the power rule, then evaluates the definite integral by substituting the upper and lower limits. The result is interpreted graphically as the area under the curve, confirming the integral's value as 64 square units.
