Too many arguments error

For some reason Matlab 2016b is having a problem running a function called "taylor" with the correct amount of input arguments. I think that function is a part of the symbolic math toolbox. If I do a very simple example I can get an output with that function but when I copy and paste one of their more complex examples it tells me I have too many input arguments. I need the more complex case to work so I can run my code. I paste that same chunk of code on my laptop and it runs just fine so I'm wondering if there's some weird problem with a different license on this computer?

Maybe you're not running the taylor you thought you were. What does this show:

>> which -all taylor

The current online documentation is for R2017b. The function could have changed in the last year. (I don’t use taylor often, so I can’t say for certain.) The code you posted works correctly in R2017b. Check the documentation for R2016b.
