The video tutorial explains how to find vertical and horizontal asymptotes in rational functions. It begins with an introduction to asymptotes, followed by a detailed explanation of finding vertical asymptotes by setting the denominator equal to zero. The concept of domain is discussed, highlighting that it includes all real numbers except where the denominator is zero. The tutorial then shifts to horizontal asymptotes, focusing on the degrees of polynomials in the numerator and denominator. It explains that when the degrees are equal, the horizontal asymptote is the ratio of the leading coefficients. The video concludes with a summary of the key steps involved in finding both types of asymptotes.
