Understanding Antiderivatives and Particular Solutions

The video tutorial explains how to determine the function F of X given its derivative F prime of X equals 3X squared and F of 2 equals 7. It introduces the concept of anti-derivatives and indefinite integrals, showing that the indefinite integral of F prime of X results in F of X plus a constant C. The tutorial then calculates the constant C using the given condition F of 2 equals 7, leading to the particular solution F of X equals X cubed minus 1. Finally, it provides a graphical representation of the solution and the family of functions with the same derivative.
