The video tutorial guides algebra students through using graphing calculators or programs to find the zeros of quadratic equations. It explains the concept of zeros, how to graph equations, and analyze the graphs to determine the number of zeros. The tutorial also covers modeling real-world scenarios using quadratic functions and finding the maximum height of a soccer ball using the axis of symmetry.
