Find the Derivative - d/dr pr^2

Problem

(d(p)*r2)/d(r)

Solution

1. Identify the variable of differentiation, which is r

2. Treat the variable p as a constant coefficient since it does not depend on r

3. Apply the power rule, which states that d(rn)/d(r)=n*r(n−1)

4. Multiply the constant p by the derivative of r2 which is 2*r

5. Simplify the resulting expression.

Final Answer

(d(p)*r2)/d(r)=2*p*r
