Answer:
D. The change in the child's weight (in pounds) between the ages of 6 and 8.
Step-by-step explanation:
If w'(t) is the rate of growth of a child in pounds per year then:
[tex]\int\limits^8_6 {w'(t)} \, dt = W(8) - W(6)[/tex]
Represents the amount, in pounds of the weight of a child at 8 years old subtracted by the weight of a child at 6 years old, which is the change in the child's weight between the ages of 6 and 8.
Therefore, the correct answer is alternative D.
