The video tutorial explains how to determine if equations represent functions of Y in terms of X. It emphasizes that for a function, each input X should map to a unique output Y. The tutorial demonstrates solving equations to isolate Y and discusses the implications of taking square roots, which can result in multiple Y values for a single X, thus invalidating the function. The conclusion identifies which equations can be considered valid functions.
