Answer

$\left( 2a+5b \right)\left( 3a-2b \right)$

Work Step by Step

$6{{a}^{2}}+11ab-10{{b}^{2}}$ Arranging the function in pairs, $6{{a}^{2}}+15ab-4ab-10{{b}^{2}}$ $3a\left( 2a+5b \right)-2b\left( 2a+5b \right)$ Factoring out $\left( 2a+5b \right)$: $\left( 2a+5b \right)\left( 3a-2b \right)$ Thus, the factor of the function, $6{{a}^{2}}+11ab-10{{b}^{2}}$, is $\left( 2a+5b \right)\left( 3a-2b \right)$. Check, $\begin{align} & \left( 2a+5b \right)\left( 3a-2b \right)=2a\cdot 3a-2a\cdot 2b+5b\cdot 3a-5b\cdot 2b \\ & =6{{a}^{2}}-4ab+15ab-10{{b}^{2}} \\ & =6{{a}^{2}}+11ab-10{{b}^{2}} \end{align}$ The answer checks.
