Moment of the minimum of exponentials

Let X1,X2X_1, X_2 and X3X_3 be three independent random variables such that XkX_k (k=1,2,3k = 1, 2, 3) has the following probability density function fk(x)={ke−kx,x>0 0,otherwisef_k(x) = \begin{cases} k e^{-kx}, & x > 0 \ 0, & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}. Let Y=min⁡{X1,X2,X3}Y = \min\{X_1, X_2, X_3\}. Then the value of E(3Y2−Y)E(3Y^2 - Y) equals ________ (answer in integer).
