Answer:

Concept: Vectors

  1. I think the confusion here might be the usage of i and j
  2. Just to let you know, i=x and j=y
  3. So let's use that fact to conceptualize this
  4. 6x^3+4y^2-6x
  5. We can simplify by applying a common factor
  6. 2(x^3+2y^2-3x)
  7. Thats the most we can simplify this
