The video tutorial explains how to determine the interval of continuity for given functions over the interval from 0 to 2π radians. It first analyzes a function involving tangent x, identifying points where tangent x is zero or undefined. The tutorial uses both graph and unit circle methods to find these points. It then examines a second function involving quadratic and trigonometric components, focusing on where sine x equals one. The video concludes by stating the intervals of continuity using interval notation.
