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?

This is not a Function:
function = a x^b
But this is:
function = {a,b} [Function] a x^b
You can Apply it to each element of
list = {{1,2}, {3,4}, {5,6}}
with
function @@@ list
{x^3, 3 x^5, 5 x^7}
and sum it up with Total:
Total[ function @@@ list ]
x^3 + 3 x^5 + 5 x^7
$endgroup$
$begingroup$
Why would you do 'function = {a,b} [Function] a x^b' instead of function[a_, b_, x_] = a*x^b?

Because[Function]is easily entered with the escape sequence esc f n esc . AlsoFunctiondefines a pure function whilefunction[a_, b_, x_] = a*x^bdefines a replacement rule. However, they act the same way - most of the time. So it is a matter of taste.
