Answer

$\displaystyle \int_{2}^{6}r^{\prime}(t)dt$

Work Step by Step

See Th.4.12, The Net Change Theorem The definite integral of the rate of change of quantity $F^{\prime}(x)$ gives the total change, or net change, in that quantity on the interval $[a, b]$. $\displaystyle \int_{a}^{b}F^{\prime}(x)dx=F(b)-F(a)$ -------------------- $r(t)$ represents the weight in pounds of the dog at time $t$. $\displaystyle \int_{2}^{6}r^{\prime}(t)dt = r(6)-r(2)$ represents the net change in the weight of the dog from year 2 to year 6.
