Intersection of Functions and Solutions

The video tutorial explains how to solve the equation x^3 + 3x + 2 = 4 graphically by defining two functions, F(x) = x^3 + 3x + 2 and G(x) = 4, and finding their intersection points on a graph. The intersections occur at x = -2 and x = 1, which are the solutions to the equation. The tutorial guides viewers through graphing the functions and identifying the solutions, emphasizing the importance of understanding graphical solutions to equations.
