A function f, which has derivatives for all orders for all real numbers, has a 3rd degree Taylor polynomial for f centered at x = 2.

The 4th derivative of f satisfies the inequality f^(4)(x) ≤ 3 for all x the interval from 1.5 to 2 inclusive. Find the LaGrange error bound if the 3rd degree Taylor polynomial is used to estimate f(1.5). You must show your work but do not need to evaluate the remainder expression.

I really only need to understand what the question is asking me to do. I am having a difficult time understanding. But if you are able to solve the problem that would be awesome too!

Thanks in advanced!

You dont need to do any more  That  (0.00781) is the LaGrange  error bound.
