This is a derivation for the remainder term of a taylor polynomial that I have written down from kahn academy's internet site. This is the link:
Taylor polynomial remainder (part 2) (video) | Khan Academy
The more terms we have in a Taylor polynomial approximation of a function, the closer we get to the function. But HOW close? In this video, we prove the Lagrange error bound for Taylor polynomials.

I don't understand how they obtain the constant C. It seems to me that they go from using
[MATH]\leq[/MATH]
to using
=
But in the derivation after they put the first C=-Ma they continue to use
[MATH]\leq[/MATH]
I have a bit of trouble quantifying this?
