Since we can't take the square root of a negative quantity, we need to find where -10x^2 - 11x + 6 = 0
Set it = 0 and multiply through by a -1....so we have
10x^2 + 11x - 6 = 0 factor, if possible
(5x - 2)(2x + 3) = 0
Setting each to 0, we have that x = 2/5 and x = -3/2
Now, we need to find the intervals where -10x^2 - 11x + 6 < 0
This will occur at either x < -3/2 or -3/2 < x < 2/5 or x > 2/5
Letting x = 0 we see that -3/2 < x < 2/5 "works"
If you pick any point in the other two intervals, the expression inside the radical will be < 0.
So, our answer is -3/2 ≤ x ≤ 2/5

The domain of any square root function is D={xER} I dont know what you mean by endpoints when it never ends.
-.- Yea, dont listen to me I completely screwed this up

The bit under the square root must be greater or eqal to zero.
the easiest way to do questions like this is to let
$$y=-10x^2-11x+6$$
now you have
$$f(x)=\sqrt{y}$$
$$y\ge0\\$$
I just saw CPhill's answer pop up so there is no point in me continuing.
If you have questions just ask. :)
