The video tutorial explains how to solve the equation f(x) = x^2 + 4x + 7 for f(x) = 1. It begins by substituting 1 for f(x) and simplifying the equation to x^2 + 4x + 6 = 0. The tutorial attempts to factor the equation but finds no real rational solutions, indicating the solutions are either irrational or complex. The video concludes with a graphical verification showing no intersection points, confirming the absence of real solutions.
