#(d(2pir))/(dr)#
#color(white)("XXX")=2pi(dr)/(dr)# by the Constant Rule for Derivatives

#color(white)("XXX")=2pi#

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Constant Rule for Derivatives tells us that
If #f(x)=c * g(x)# for some constant #c#
then #f'(x)=c * g'(x)#

In this case #f(r)=2pir; c=2pi, and g(r)=r#
