Evaluating Definite Integrals and Logarithms

The video tutorial explains how to evaluate the definite integral of the function 3/x from 1 to e squared. It begins by discussing the graph of the function and its nonnegative nature over the interval. The tutorial then applies the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to find the antiderivative, factoring out constants for simplification. The integral is evaluated using natural logarithms and the power rule, leading to the conclusion that the area under the curve is 6 square units.
