Definite Integrals and U-Substitution

This video tutorial covers the process of evaluating a definite integral using u-substitution. It begins with an introduction to definite integrals and the need for u-substitution due to the presence of a square root. The video then explains how to set up the u-substitution, simplify the integral, and perform the integration. After integrating, the tutorial demonstrates how to apply boundaries to the integrated function and evaluate the definite integral. The video concludes with a final evaluation and a reminder to keep learning.
