The video tutorial explains how to analyze and graph rational functions. It begins with factoring the numerator and denominator, then discusses the domain, vertical asymptotes, and intercepts. The tutorial also covers horizontal asymptotes by examining the degrees of the numerator and denominator. Finally, it demonstrates graphing the function using these components, emphasizing the importance of asymptotes and intercepts.
