The video tutorial explains how to find the component form of a vector given its magnitude and the angle it makes with the positive X-axis. It covers the use of trigonometric functions, cosine and sine, to express the vector in component form. The tutorial includes a step-by-step calculation of the components using a specific example with a magnitude of 7/2 and an angle of 150 degrees. The final component form is derived, and the tutorial concludes with a reflection on the method used.
