I was hoping to take pairs of numbers from a list and substitute them into a function. So if my list was
list = {{1,2}, {3,4}, {5,6}}
and my function was
function = a x^b
The output I'm hoping to get is
result =1x^2 + 3x^4 + 5x^6
How would I best do this?

You can Apply it to each element of

with
function @@@ list
{x^3, 3 x^5, 5 x^7}
and sum it up with Total:
