The video tutorial explains how to use the disc method to find the volume of a solid formed by rotating a region in the first quadrant bounded by specific curves. It involves solving an equation for Y, graphing the function, and applying the disc method by sketching a rectangle. The tutorial then sets up and evaluates the integral to find the volume, using the power rule to find the antiderivative. Finally, it calculates the exact and approximate volume of the solid.
