Since smaller denominators make larger numbers, the remainder is maximized for the smallest possible value of c, which occurs when c = 0. So the error at x is bounded by |R 3 (x)| ≤ 15x4 384 For example, the error at x = 1 is no more than 15/384. Looking more closely at the Taylor series f(x) = f(a) + (x − a)f ′ (a) + 1 2! (x − a)2 f ′′ (x 0 ) + · · · we observe that the first two terms f(x) = f(a) + (x − a)f ′ (a) + · · · give the equation of a line tangent to f(x) at the point (a, f(a)). The next term gives a quadratic correction, followed by a cubic correction, and so forth, so we might write f(x near a) = (equation of a tangent line through a) + (quadratic correction at a) + (cubic correction at a) + (quartic correction at a) + · · · For a function of two variables z = f(x, y), the tangent line because a tangent plane; the quadratic correction becomes a parabolid correction; and so forth. The explicit result is the following. Theorem 13.3 Let f(x, y) be infinitely differentiable in some open set J that contains the point (a, b). Then the Taylor Series of f(x,y) about the point (a,b) is f(x, y) = f(a, b) + f x (a, b)(x − a) + f y (a, b)(y − b) + 1 [ fxx (a, b)(x − a) 2 + 2f xy (a, b)(x − a)(y − b) + f yy (a, b)(y − b) 2] 2 + · · · for all points (x, y) ∈ J.
