Taylor's theorem with the Lagrange remainder

Builds on Taylor polynomialRolle's theorem

Statement

Let k≥0k \ge 0 and let a≠xa \ne x be real numbers. Let JJ be the closed interval with endpoints aa and xx. Let ff be a real function with f(k)f^{(k)} continuous on JJ and f(k+1)f^{(k+1)} existing on the interior of JJ. Then there is ξ\xi strictly between aa and xx with f(x)=Pk(x)+f(k+1)(ξ)(k+1)!(x−a)k+1,f(x) = P_k(x) + \frac{f^{(k+1)}(\xi)}{(k + 1)!} (x - a)^{k+1}, where PkP_k is the Taylor polynomial of degree kk of ff at aa.

Remarks

For k=0k = 0 this is the mean value theorem. If ∣f(k+1)∣≤M|f^{(k+1)}| \le M between aa and xx, then ∣f(x)−Pk(x)∣≤M∣x−a∣k+1/(k+1)!|f(x) - P_k(x)| \le M |x - a|^{k+1} / (k + 1)!. Mathlib states it as taylor_mean_remainder_lagrange.
