Answer
\(i \quad u x v = 0 = 4 x ( - 6 ) + 2 x + 2 = 0\)
\(x = 11\)
ii \( \left. \begin{array} { l }{ 5 = \sqrt { ( 4 x ) ^ { 2 } + ( 2 x ) ^ { 2 } + 1 x ^ { 2 } } }\\{ = \sqrt { 20 x ^ { 2 } } }\\{ x = \sqrt { \frac { 5 } { 4 } } = \frac { \sqrt { 5 } } { 2 } }\\{ ( 2 \sqrt { 5 } , \sqrt { 5 } , - \frac { \sqrt { 5 } } { 2 } ) } \end{array} \right.\)
