The video tutorial explains how to solve the equation 4 = log base b of 81 by converting it into an exponential form, b^4 = 81. It demonstrates the process of finding the base b by identifying that 3^4 equals 81, thus b equals 3. The tutorial also touches on fractional exponents, showing that raising both sides of the equation to the 1/4 power confirms that b is 3. The key takeaway is understanding the relationship between logarithms and exponents.
