Understanding Definite Integrals and Circle Geometry

The video tutorial explains how to evaluate the definite integral of the square root of nine minus x squared from negative three to three. It suggests using the graph of the function, which is the top half of a circle centered at the origin with a radius of three. The tutorial demonstrates how to graph the function and explains the concept of the principal root. Finally, it calculates the area under the curve using geometry, showing that the area is half of the circle's area, resulting in nine pi over two.
