The video tutorial covers finding zeros of polynomials and determining their multiplicity. It provides examples of setting polynomial factors to zero and solving for x. The tutorial also explains the concept of end behavior in polynomial functions, using graphs and leading terms to determine how functions behave as x approaches infinity or negative infinity.

What is the first step in finding the zeros of a polynomial?

• Set the polynomial equal to zero

• Set each factor equal to zero

• Set the polynomial equal to one

• Set each factor equal to one
