The video tutorial explains how to integrate the absolute value of X function. It begins with graphing the function, showing that it can be divided into two parts: positive X for X greater than or equal to zero, and negative X for X less than zero. The tutorial then demonstrates how to integrate each part separately using the power rule, resulting in two antiderivatives: 1/2 x squared plus C for X greater than or equal to zero, and negative 1/2 x squared plus C for X less than zero. The video concludes with the final integration result.
