The video tutorial explains how to find the derivative of a rational expression using the quotient rule. It begins by defining the problem and identifying the numerator and denominator as separate functions. The quotient rule is then explained, followed by the calculation of derivatives for each function. The derivatives are substituted back into the quotient rule formula, and the expression is simplified to reach the final result.
