The video tutorial covers graphing square root and cube root functions. It begins with an introduction to the concepts, followed by detailed steps to graph y = 1/2√x using a table of values. The tutorial then moves on to graphing y = -3∛x, again using a table of values to plot points. The video concludes with practice tasks for students to try on their own, reinforcing the concepts learned.
