The video tutorial explains how to find X and Y intercepts of a function. It begins with a discussion on X intercepts, where Y is set to zero, and the zero product property is applied. The instructor solves equations to find the X intercepts, emphasizing the importance of the order of operations. The tutorial then shifts to Y intercepts, explaining that when X is zero, the Y value is also zero due to multiplication by zero. The video concludes with a brief mention of graphing these intercepts.
