Answer:

X = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we can gather some pretty important information. For starters, "three times a number x" would give us 3x. Secondly, "increased by 4" would give us +4. Lastly, "equal to five times x" would be = 5x. If we put this all together we have the following Algebraic Equation.

$3x+4 = 5x$

Now we can start solving the equation.

$3x+4 = 5x$

$4 = 2x$

$2 = x$

So we can see that the value of x in this equation is 2.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

Which description of the vector shown is correct ?

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

(B) The magnitude is 7sqrt2, and the direction angle is approximately 135 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure, the coordinate of the tail of the vector,

$(x_1,y_1)=(3,-6).$

The coordinate of the head of the vector,

$(x_2,y_2)=(-4,1).$

The magnitude of a vector is the length between the head and tail of the vector.

By using the distance formula,

the magnitude of the vector $= \sqrt{(1-(-6))^2+(-4-3)^2}$

$=\sqrt{(7^2+(-7)^2}\\\\=\sqrt{98}\\\\=7\sqrt{2}$

Now, let $\theta$ be the angle made by the vector with the positive direction of the x-axis, so

$\tan\theta = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\Rightarrow \tan\theta = \frac{1-(-6)}{-4-3}=\frac{7}{-7}=-1 \\\\\Rightarrow \theta = \tan^{-1}(-1) \\\\\Rightarrow \theta =\pi- \tan^{-1}1 \\\\\Rightarrow \theta = \pi-\frac{\pi}{4} \\\\\Rightarrow \theta =\frac{3\pi}{4} \\\\\Rightarrow \theta = 135 ^{\circ}.$
