The video tutorial explains the concept of degree zero in polynomials. It begins by introducing the idea and then delves into the structure of polynomials, highlighting the role of constants. The tutorial demonstrates how to rewrite a polynomial to show that its degree is zero, emphasizing that a polynomial with a degree of zero is a constant polynomial function. The video concludes by reinforcing the understanding of constant polynomial functions.

What is the general form of a polynomial?

• aX^n + bX^(n-1) + ... + c

• aX^n + bX^(n+1) + ... + c

• aX^n - bX^(n-1) + ... - c

• aX^n * bX^(n-1) * ... * c
