Put y = 9 |10x - 9|
The minimum of y = 0, at this point :
9 |10x - 9| = 0
10x - 9 = 0
x = 9/10
When x ≥ 9/10, y = 9(10x - 9)
Hence, when x = 9, y = 9[10(9) - 9] = 729
When x < 9/10, y= -9(10x - 9)
Hence, when x = 0, y = =9(0 - 9) = 81

∫ 9 |10x - 9|
⁰
= Area of ΔAOB + Area of ΔCDB
= (1/2) × OA × OB + (1/2) × CD × BD
= (1/2) × 81 × (9/10) + (1/2) × 729 × [9 - (9/10)]
= 2988.9
