Lecture Outline
In this Lecture we will state and prove
Taylor,s Theorem.

Suppose
Theorem.

is real differentiable
function on and suppose Then there is a point
such that
A similar result holds of course if

Proof.

of Higher Order
Derivatives

If f has a derivative on an interval, and if is itself

differentiable, then it is denoted by and call
second derivative of f.
, , , , , ,

is called nth derivative of f or derivative of order

n of f.

 Taylors Theorem.
If is continuous on derivable on and , then
there exists a point such that
Where

 Proof

is continuous on and derivable on .

This implies: , , , , , , are all continuous on and

derivable on .
Define

Where is chosen such that , i.e.


Thus is continuous on differentiable on and .
Hence there exists such that
This gives:


Thus from , we get,

Putting this value of we get the required result.

Approximation of ex (blue) by its Taylor polynomials Pk of order

k=1,...,7 centered at x=0 (red).

 Suppose that we wish to approximate

the function f(x) = ex on the interval
[1,1] while ensuring that the error
in the approximation is no more than
105.
In this example we pretend that we
only know the following properties of
the exponential function:
