Answer

$149$ million kilometers.

Work Step by Step

The given function is $\Rightarrow f(x)=0.2x^{\frac{3}{2}}$ $f(x)=365$. Substitute into the given function. $\Rightarrow 365=0.2x^{\frac{3}{2}}$ Divide both sides by $0.2$. $\Rightarrow \frac{365}{0.2}=\frac{0.2x^{\frac{3}{2}}}{0.2}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 1825=x^{\frac{3}{2}}$ $\Rightarrow (18250)^{\frac{2}{3}}=[x^{\frac{3}{2}}]^{\frac{2}{3}}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 149.34=x$ $149$.
