Answer

$E = (-12~N/C)~\hat{i}+ (12~N/C)~\hat{j}$

Work Step by Step

We can find $E_x$: $E_x = -\frac{dV}{dx}$ $E_x = (-4.0~x)~N/C$ $E_x = (-4.0)~(3.0)~N/C$ $E_x = -12~N/C$ We can find $E_y$: $E_y = -\frac{dV}{dy}$ $E_y = (6.0~y)~N/C$ $E_y = (6.0)~(2.0)~N/C$ $E_y = 12~N/C$ We can express the electric field in unit-vector notation: $E = (-12~N/C)~\hat{i}+ (12~N/C)~\hat{j}$
