For hw #9, I'm thoroughly confused as to how to get the answers to #15 and 16. From the edline answers, it just moves to quickly from one point to the answer.
I'm even more confused with the past hw, #8, with the Remainder Estimation Theorem. Is the rule of thumb simply that the remainder is the same number we get if we used Taylor's Theorem with Remainder? And what exactly is the M of the equation? An explanation on any one problem in hw #8 would be nice. Thanks.

I don't really know the answer to your question about 15 and 16, but about your question about what M is... i think it's the maximum value that the (n+1)th derviative of f(c) can be.. so like if the (n+1)th derviative of f(c) was cos(c) then the maximum value of that would be 1 so M would equal 1. That's what I think it is but you might want to double check?
Oh but you also have to keep in mind the c-value!
Thanks
