Since you're evaluating this integral numerically, you might think that you should represent the upper limit of integration as 10499, which is virtually the largest cumber you ears key into the calculator.

Try it and what happens. Enter the function f(x) = xex.

The answer returned by the calculator is clearly incorrect, since the actual integral of f(x) = xexfrom zero to is exactly 1. But the problem is not that

was represented by 10499, since the actual integral of this function from zero to 10499 is very close to 1. The reasons or the incorrect answer becomes apparent from the graph of f(x) over the interval of integration.
