Answer

$\frac{dq}{dr} = \frac{2(1-r)}{3(2r-r^{2})^{\frac{2}{3}}}$

Work Step by Step

$q = \sqrt[3] u$ where, $u = (2r-r^{2})$ Now, $\frac{dq}{du} = \frac{1}{3u^{\frac{2}{3}}} $ and, $\frac{du}{dr} =2-2r= 2(1-r)$ So, $\frac{dq}{dr} = \frac{dq}{du} \times \frac{du}{dr}$ $\frac{dq}{dr} = \frac{2(1-r)}{3u^{\frac{2}{3}}}$ $\frac{dq}{dr} = \frac{2(1-r)}{3(2r-r^{2})^{\frac{2}{3}}}$
