Your solution does not check out
(x-2-Sqrt[10])(x-2+Sqrt[10])//ExpandAll
-6 - 4*x + x^2
(-b + Sqrt[b^2-4*a*c])/(2a) /. {a->1,b->2,c->10}
-1 + 3*I
Using Factor as previously posted by several posters:
Factor[x^2+2x+10,GaussianIntegers->True]
((1 - 3*I) + x)*((1 + 3*I) + x)
Or equating terms:
Union[(x-a)(x-b) /. Solve[Thread[CoefficientList[#, x]&/@
(x^2 + 2x + 10 == (x-a)(x-b))],
{a,b}]]
{((1 - 3*I) + x)*((1 + 3*I) + x)}
