Answer

$$6$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & \int_0^9 {\frac{{dx}}{{\sqrt {9 - x} }}} \cr & {\text{The integrand is not defined for }}x = 9,{\text{ then}} \cr & \int_0^9 {\frac{{dx}}{{\sqrt {9 - x} }}} = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{b \to {9^ - }} \int_0^b {\frac{{dx}}{{\sqrt {9 - x} }}} \cr & {\text{Integrating}} \cr & = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{b \to {9^ - }} \left[ { - 2\sqrt {9 - x} } \right]_0^b \cr & = - 2\mathop {\lim }\limits_{b \to {9^ - }} \left[ {\sqrt {9 - b} - \sqrt {9 - 0} } \right] \cr & = - 2\mathop {\lim }\limits_{b \to {9^ - }} \left[ {\sqrt {9 - b} - 3} \right] \cr & {\text{Evaluating the limit when }}b \to {9^ - } \cr & = - 2\left[ {\sqrt {9 - 9} - 3} \right] \cr & = 6 \cr} $$
