The video tutorial explains how to find limits of functions as variables approach certain values, particularly when the limit results in an indeterminate form like 0/0. It introduces L'Hôpital's Rule, which allows the calculation of such limits by differentiating the numerator and denominator. The tutorial provides examples using trigonometric functions and verifies the results graphically. The video aims to help students understand the application of L'Hôpital's Rule in calculus and its graphical interpretation.
