Given the following function and it's results:
f(x,y) = x^y + y^x where x>0 and y>1
f(1,2) = 1^2 + 2^1 = 3 f(2,3) = 2^3 + 3^2 = 17 f(3,4) = 3^4 + 4^3 = 145 . . .
Using the above function denoted by f(x,y), and given that the initial values of x = 1 and y = 2, which increase by 1 each time, what are the last 4 digits of the sum of the first 15 function calls.
Note that ^ means exponent and that you are seeing the first 3 calls above.
