The video tutorial covers the method of completing the square, focusing on cases where the coefficient 'a' in a quadratic equation is greater than one. It explains how to graph quadratic functions, find the vertex, and solve for roots algebraically. The tutorial also demonstrates converting equations to standard form and provides practice problems to reinforce learning. The teacher encourages students to engage in productive struggle and offers study tips for an upcoming test.
