In this derivation:

they assume in equation (8) that x >> a in order to use the Taylor Expansion because a/x has difficult behavior. Why does that assumption work? Meaning, why can we assume the dipole is that much smaller? What happens if x is not much greater than a, then what would be the process to find a solution?
