Description: Taylor approximation near a point: a straight line, then a parabola, then higher-degree polynomials each hug the curve over a wider range. Keep every formula in plain math like y=x-x*x*x/6; describe it in spoken words with no symbols. Show one curve morphing to match a target curve more and more closely.
