The video tutorial explains how to model exponential growth and decay using equations. It first covers a scenario where a quantity starts at one and triples four times a day, leading to an equation with an exponent of 4x. Then, it discusses a situation where a quantity starts at four and halves every two weeks, resulting in an equation with an exponent of x/2. The tutorial emphasizes understanding initial values, growth or decay rates, and how often these changes occur.
