The video tutorial explains how to identify relative and absolute extrema on a graph. It covers the concepts of relative maximum and minimum points, which are the peaks and valleys of a graph, respectively. The tutorial also discusses edge cases where the graph is flat, making it both a relative maximum and minimum. The video then transitions to absolute extrema, explaining how to identify the highest and lowest points on a graph, including edge cases where flat regions can be considered absolute extrema.
