The video tutorial covers writing exponential functions from word problems, focusing on two types: when all values are given and when values are given as percentages. The first example discusses the exponential growth of rabbits in Australia, using a starting value and growth rate to form an equation. The second example involves calculating a salary increase by a percentage, demonstrating how to determine the growth rate and form the equation. The tutorial emphasizes understanding initial values, growth rates, and the importance of exponents in exponential functions.
