Abstract

The main aim of this paper is to provide an approximation for the function ff which possesses continuous derivatives up to the order n−1(n≥1)n−1(n≥1) and has the nnth derivative of bounded variation, in terms of the chord that connects its end points A=(a,f(a))A=(a,f(a)) and B=(b,f(b))B=(b,f(b)) and some more terms which depend on the values of the kk derivatives of the function taken at the end points aa and bb, where kk is between 1 and nn. Natural applications for some elementary functions such as the exponential and the logarithmic functions are given as well.
