The video tutorial explains how to determine a limit using L'Hopital's Rule. It begins by checking the form of the limit as x approaches 0, identifying it as an indeterminate form of 0/0. The tutorial then applies L'Hopital's Rule by taking derivatives of the numerator and denominator, simplifying the expression, and reapplying the rule when necessary. The final limit is calculated as 25/8, which is verified graphically.
