No. New concrete will not adhere to old concrete. If it was an inch or less a concrete resurfacing compound could be used. Cheapest solution would be to break up the dropped concrete, dig the out the area about six inches deep, put in two inches of fresh gravel, and pour new concrete. Another solution would be mud jacking the dropped concrete. That requires pro's.
Hello, There are companies where I live in North Carolina that can repair concrete driveways that have dropped. I do not know if this is a do it yourself kind of undertaking. Concrete is so expensive that you don't want to waste it.
Make it simple, apply thin layer of liquid concrete bonding agent, place the new concrete over old. Use Sakrete with small aggregate. 5 bucks a bag. Level with piece of 2x4 or trowel. Done.
