The video tutorial discusses a quadratic equation problem where the coefficient 'a' in the equation y = 1x^2 + 4x - 6 is changed from 1 to -1. The instructor explains the standard form of a quadratic equation and how the 'a' value affects the graph's concavity. By changing 'a' to -1, the graph becomes concave down, which is the correct answer to the problem posed.
