The video tutorial discusses the concept of discontinuities in precalculus, focusing on holes and asymptotes. It explains how to identify vertical asymptotes by ensuring the denominator is not zero and demonstrates factoring expressions to distinguish between removable and non-removable discontinuities. The tutorial concludes by clarifying that the only vertical asymptote in the example is at x = -2, emphasizing the importance of accurate identification in graph analysis.
