The video tutorial covers hyperbolas, the last conic section, explaining their definition, properties, and equations. It compares hyperbolas to ellipses, highlighting the differences in foci and the constant difference in distances. The tutorial provides an example of a hyperbola equation, demonstrates sketching techniques, and discusses asymptotes and transformations. Key concepts include the transverse axis, vertices, and the role of a, b, and c terms in the equation.
