Given a function g(x), its derivative, if it exists, is equal to the limit

The limit is some expression that is itself a function of x. Then the derivative of g(x) at x = 1 is obtained by just plugging x = 1. In other words, find g'(x) - and this can be done with or without taking a limit - then evaluate g' (1).

Alternatively, you can directly find the derivative at a point by computing the limit

But this is essentially the same as the first method, we're just replacing x with 1.

Yet another way is to compute the limit

but this is really the same limit with h = x - 1.

You do not compute g (1) first, because as you say, that's just a constant, so its derivative is zero. But you're not concerned with the derivative of some number, you care about the derivative of a function that depends on a variable.
