Nice and colorful solution! (+1). Since ln x and arcsin x are both increasing functions, y varies directly with x 2 + x + 0 . 7 5 .
I have a couple of suggestions regarding your Latex code:
You could use
\implies
in the place of
\Rightarrow
. It is better semantically, it is easier to type, and it generates accurate spacing.
In the last line, you could use
\approx
instead of
=
since
ln
(
6
π
)
is not exactly equal to
−
0
.
6
4
7
Other than that, your solution is perfect!

Thanks. I didn't know about the \implies but I know about \approx. Just thought need not to be so accurate especially when number of places of decimal is mentioned (but not here).
Actually, I found \implies too long and ugly so I use \quad \Rightarrow instead to have more space. But you are right that semantically it is better and we have to serious in math.
Could you tell me why the arcsin became sin? I didn't understand that bit.

Yes. I'm a little confused how the arcsines became sines.

We note that y increases with x 2 + x + 0 . 7 5 , therefore y is minimum when x 2 + x + 0 . 7 5 is minimum.
y ⇒ y m i n = ln ( arcsin ( x 2 + x + 0 . 7 5 ) ) = ln ( arcsin [ ( x + 2 1 ) 2 + 2 1 ] ) Since ( x + 2 1 ) 2 ≥ 0 ⟹ x 2 + x + 0 . 7 5 ≥ 2 1 . = ln ( arcsin ( 2 1 ) ) = ln ( 6 π ) ≈ − 0 . 6 4 7
