The video tutorial explains how to solve the equation secant of X minus 1 equals zero. It begins by isolating the trigonometric value and solving the secant squared equation by taking square roots. The tutorial then explores when secant equals plus or minus one using the unit circle, identifying the angles where this occurs. Finally, it discusses finding all possible solutions by considering multiple angles and concludes with a summary of the solution process.
