Understanding Antiderivatives and Constants

The video tutorial explains how to find the original function given its derivative and an initial condition. It starts by introducing the problem and the given data, including the derivative and a specific function value. The tutorial then demonstrates finding the antiderivative using the power rule in reverse. It proceeds to determine the constant of integration by substituting the given function value. Finally, the tutorial evaluates the function at a specific point to find the desired result.

What is the initial problem statement given in the video?
