1. Define the function f(x, y) on the non-negative integers recursively by (2f(5,y) y + f(x – 1, y) if x is odd and r > 0 if x is even and x > 0 f (x, y) = if x = 0. (a) Compute f(1, 1), ƒ(3,7), and f(6,4). Show your calculations. (b) What function does f(x, y) compute? Briefly justify your answer.
