The video tutorial explains how to verify if two functions are inverses of each other by performing function composition. It demonstrates the process of substituting one function into another and simplifying the result to check if it equals the original input variable. The tutorial covers both f(g(x)) and g(f(x)) compositions, showing that if both simplify to x, the functions are inverses. The video concludes with a verification of the inverse relationship.
