The video tutorial explains two methods to find the vertex and axis of symmetry of a parabola. The first method uses the formula X = -B/2A to find the axis of symmetry and then calculates the vertex. The second method involves completing the square to rewrite the equation in vertex form. The tutorial also covers how to determine if the vertex is a maximum or minimum point by analyzing the graph's direction based on the coefficient A. The domain and range of the parabola are discussed, concluding with the vertex at (-1, -1) and a range from -1 to infinity.
