The video tutorial explains how to determine a limit using L'Hopital's Rule. It begins by analyzing the form of the limit as x approaches 0, identifying it as an indeterminate form of zero times negative infinity. The tutorial then demonstrates how to rewrite the limit to apply L'Hopital's Rule by transforming the expression into a ratio. After applying the rule, the expression is simplified to find the limit, which is verified graphically. The tutorial provides a step-by-step approach to solving limits using L'Hopital's Rule, emphasizing the importance of transforming the expression into a suitable form for the rule's application.
