The video tutorial explains how to determine the derivative of a function using the quotient rule. It begins by identifying the function as a quotient of two differentiable functions and then applies the quotient rule. The tutorial walks through the steps of simplifying the derived function, highlighting key mathematical operations and simplifications. The final derivative is presented in its simplest form, with a caution against incorrect simplification.
