The video tutorial explains the end behavior of polynomial graphs based on their degree and leading coefficient. For even degree polynomials with a positive leading coefficient, the graph rises to both the left and right. For odd degree polynomials with a positive leading coefficient, the graph falls to the left and rises to the right. An example using a fifth-degree polynomial is provided to illustrate these concepts.
