The video tutorial explains how to find H Prime of 3 using the chain rule. It starts by introducing the problem and the concept of composite functions. The chain rule is then explained, highlighting the differentiation of the outer function evaluated at the inner function, followed by multiplying by the derivative of the inner function. The tutorial proceeds with calculating H Prime of 3 by substituting values from a table, determining G of 3 and G Prime of 3, and finally finding F Prime of 1 to conclude that H Prime of 3 equals 8.
