Answer:

[tex](3x+5)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given polynomial expression is:[tex]6x^2+x-15[/tex]

We compare to [tex]ax^2+bx+c[/tex] and have a=6,b=1,c=-15

The product [tex]ac=6\times -15=-90[/tex]

Two factors of -90 that sums to 1 are -9 and 10

We split the middle term to get:

[tex]6x^2+10x-9x-15[/tex]

[tex]2x(3x+5)-3(3x+5)[/tex]

[tex](3x+5)(2x-3)[/tex]

Therefore the other factor is:

[tex](3x+5)[/tex]
