The video tutorial explains exponential functions, focusing on identifying growth and decay factors. It demonstrates how to determine these factors by examining the constant multiplier between consecutive values of X and Y. The tutorial uses examples to show how to calculate the decay factor by dividing smaller Y values by larger ones, resulting in a factor of 0.5. Similarly, it explains the growth factor by dividing larger Y values by smaller ones, resulting in a factor of 2.5. The video emphasizes the importance of these factors in understanding exponential relationships.
