The video tutorial explains the concepts of direct, inverse, and joint variation. Direct variation is when two variables have a constant ratio, while inverse variation involves a constant product. Joint variation involves more than two variables. The tutorial provides examples and explains how to identify the type of variation from data. It concludes with finding the equation representing inverse variation.
