Taylor's theorem is a fundamental result in calculus that provides a way to approximate a function using polynomials. Specifically, it states that any sufficiently smooth function can be approximated near a point by a polynomial whose coefficients are determined by the function's derivatives at that point. ### Formal Statement: Let \( f \) be a function that is \( n \)-times differentiable at a point \( a \).
