The video tutorial explains how to find limits of functions as x approaches infinity, particularly when both the numerator and denominator approach infinity, resulting in an indeterminate form. L'Hopital's Rule is introduced as a method to solve these limits by using derivatives. Two examples are provided: one involving the natural log function and another with exponential functions. The tutorial also includes graphical verifications to confirm the calculated limits, demonstrating that the function values approach zero as x approaches infinity.
