Hello all,

In order to found an upper bound for a numerical integration, I would
like to "solve" something like Solve[f[x]<1*^-10,x] but in a quick and
dirty way; let me explain :
- dirty, in the sense that I would be happy to find an x for which
f[x] is say between 1*^-9 and 1*^-11 or so
- quick in the sense that one evaluation of f[x] takes some time; the
goal would be to find x by evaluating f[x] as fewer time as possible

Any idea how to do that ?

Thanks in advance
