If f(2, 4) = 24 and f(1, 5) = 26, what is the value of f(2, 6)?  Choose the most appropriate option.
A) 107  B) 127  C) 44  D) None of these  E) Cannot be determined
Solution:   The function f(a, b) = a3 + b2   f(2, 4) therefore is = 8 + 16=

<output>24</output>
24 and   f(1,5)= 1 +25= 
<gadget id="calculator">1 +25</gadget>
<output>26</output>
26   Therefore, f(2, 6)= 8 + 36= 
<gadget id="calculator">8 + 36</gadget>
<output>44</output>
44   Answer 44
<result>C</result>
