    The document defines a function f(x) and calculates its derivative f'(x) in 3 steps: 1) It defines f(x) as the square root of a^2 + x^2 divided by x. 2) It calculates the limit as h approaches 0 of the difference quotient that defines the derivative. 3) It simplifies the difference quotient to arrive at the final form of the derivative f'(x) as a function of x.
