The video tutorial explains how to write the simplified series representation of the function f(x) = x^4 * e^(6x). It begins by introducing the problem and then explains the known power series for e^x. By substituting 6x for x, the series for e^(6x) is derived. The function is then multiplied by x^4, and the series is simplified by combining like terms. The final simplified series is presented, providing a clear understanding of the process.
