$$\mathrm{y}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{1}\:\left(\mathrm{x}=\mathrm{1}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{y}=\pm\sqrt{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{y}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{2}\Rightarrow\mathrm{y}=\pm\sqrt{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{y}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{6}\Rightarrow\mathrm{y}=\pm\sqrt{\mathrm{7}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{0}\leqslant\mathrm{x}<\infty \\ $$$$\mathrm{y}\in\left(−\infty,−\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}\right]\cup\left[\sqrt{\mathrm{2}},\infty\right) \\ $$
