The video tutorial explains how to create an inverse function and verify its invertibility using the function x^3 + 4. It involves switching the variables x and y, solving for y, and checking invertibility by forming a composite function. The tutorial also explores the graphical implications of these operations, comparing the original cubic function with its inverse, a cube root function.
