The video tutorial by Mr. Banker covers the three basic Pythagorean identities in trigonometry: sine squared plus cosine squared equals one, secant squared equals one plus tangent squared, and cosecant squared equals one plus cotangent squared. The tutorial explains how to rearrange these identities to derive other forms and applies them to solve problems, such as finding sine and cosine values given a tangent value.
