The video tutorial explores the intersection points of the graphs of y = sin(θ) and y = cos(θ) within the range of 0 to 2π. It begins by setting up the unit circle and explaining the coordinates for sine and cosine. The tutorial then graphs both functions, identifying key points and visually determining the intersection points. Finally, it calculates the exact values of these intersection points using geometric principles, specifically focusing on angles like π/4 and 5π/4.
