Taylor's inequality is an estimate result for the value of the remainder term in any
-term finite Taylor series
approximation.
Indeed, if
is any function which satisfies the hypotheses of Taylor's theorem and for which there exists a real number
satisfying
on some interval
, the remainder
satisfies
on the same interval .
This result is an immediate consequence of the Lagrange remainder of
and can also be deduced from the Cauchy remainder
as well.
