Calculator is close to underflow.
At this point, you can use _ to pinpoint the smallest value of x at which the calculator
underflows.

Roll down stack until the last

The minimum value of x at
which the calculator underflows
is about 228.
You've now determined that you need integrate only from 0 to 228. Since the integrand is
interesting only for values of x less than 10, divide the interval of integration there. The
problem has now become:
