The wave function for an electron in the 3 d state of hydrogen is given by the f

Question

The wave function for an electron in the 3d state of hydrogen is given by the following equation, where A is the normalization constant:

Ar2e-r/(3a0)

Determine the most likely distance from the nucleus to find an electron in the 3d state. Determine this by performing the following steps:

Calculate P(r). (Use the following as necessary: A, a0, and r.)
P(r) =

Calculate dP/dr. (Use the following as necessary: A, a0, and r.)
dP/dr =

Calculate the value of r for which dP/dr = 0. (Use the following as necessary: A and a0.)
r =
