xx cannot be <1<1, because if x<1x<1, there would be a negative under the radical, which cannot exist in the real number system. So xx can be anywhere from 11 toprop∝.
Since xx must be at least 1, the value of yy can range from sqrt0√0=0=0, to sqrt√ of any value >x>x, which makes the limit of the range prop∝.
