Evaluating a limit by factoring difference of two cubes

The video tutorial addresses a problem where direct substitution fails due to a zero denominator. The instructor explains how to factor cubed numbers using the sum and difference technique. Initially, an incorrect formula is used, but it is later corrected. The solution is verified through a tabular method, confirming the result. The video concludes with a summary of the problem-solving process.
