The video tutorial reviews the characteristics of exponential functions, including their general form, x-intercept, y-intercept, asymptotes, and end behavior. It explains how to determine if a function is increasing or decreasing based on the base of the power. The domain and range of exponential functions are discussed, emphasizing that the range is greater than zero. A second function is analyzed, highlighting differences in y-intercept and behavior based on the base value.
