The Taylor expansion about has coefficients given by the successive derivatives at :
When is times continuously differentiable on the interval between and , Taylor's theorem gives for an intermediate point . If the remainders tend to zero, this yields the infinite Taylor series . The three functions below are real analytic near zero after taking the continuous extension in part (i).
