A student investigated the effect of carbon dioxide concentration on the rate of photosynthesis in pondweed at a constant light intensity and temperature. The results of this investigation are shown in the graph below.

Graph of photosynthesis rate against carbon dioxide concentration

Which range of carbon dioxide concentration represents a region where carbon dioxide is no longer the limiting factor of photosynthesis, and the rate can be mathematically modelled by the equation y=ky = ky=k (where k>0 k > 0\,k>0 is a constant)?
