The video tutorial explains how to determine the first five terms of a sequence using a recursive function. Starting with f(0) = 7, each subsequent term is calculated by adding 6 to the previous term. The tutorial demonstrates the calculations for f(1) through f(4), resulting in the sequence: 7, 13, 19, 25, 31. The common difference of 6 is highlighted, and the process is explained in detail to aid understanding.
