To find the value of \( x \) using the geometric mean between the two numbers 3 and 4, we can set up the equation as follows:
\[
x = \sqrt{3 \times 4}
\]
Calculating this:
\[
x = \sqrt{12}
\]
Now, finding the square root of 12, we can simplify it:
\[
x \approx 3.4641
\]
Rounding to the nearest tenth, we get:
\[
x \approx 3.5
\]
Thus, the value of \( x \) rounded to the nearest tenth is:
\[
\boxed{3.5}
\]
