The video tutorial explains how to use special limits to determine additional limits. It covers two examples: the limit of sine 3x divided by x and the limit of sine x divided by 5x. The tutorial demonstrates how to manipulate functions to match the form of special limits, allowing for easier calculation of limits. Graphical verification is also provided to confirm the results.
