Approximation of the

The answer returned by the calculator is clearly incorrect, since the actual integral
of
f(x) = xe
–x
from zero to
∞
is exactly 1. But the problem is not that
∞
was
represented by 10
499
, since the actual integral of this function from zero to 10
499
is very close to 1. The reason for the incorrect answer becomes apparent from the
graph of
f(x) over the interval of integration.
