The video tutorial explains how to analyze the graph of a first derivative function. It covers determining when the derivative is positive or negative, identifying critical numbers, and finding relative extrema. The tutorial also compares the graph of the derivative with the original function, F of X, to illustrate how changes in the derivative affect the function's behavior.
