This isn't a homework question. You guys are smart so I was wondering if you could somehow figure out the mysterious function f based on a few examples:

f(26134914) = 2085386485
f(26288902) = 2085920342
f(26289423) = 2094236422
f(26356300) = 2086136115

What is "f" doing to convert that 8 digit number to a 10 digit? I'll produce more examples if needed

Thanks for the help

Do you understand that there exist an infinite number of functions that will give those specific numbers? And no matter how many more example you give, there always exist a infinite number of functions that will give any finite set of specific values.
 
If you give us k examples, we can construct a polynomial of k+1 degree (or higher), whose coefficients will be determined by a set of k+1 simultaneous linear equations which we could solve using Gaussian Elimination. Want to try it, because i don't :P
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
