The video tutorial explores a piecewise function, identifying its three parts: linear, constant, and quadratic. It examines the function's behavior at specific points, particularly at x = -2, and discusses how the function is defined by different types at meeting points. The tutorial emphasizes the continuous nature of the piecewise function and the absence of gaps in y-values.
