\(a=\sqrt[3]{3+\sqrt{17}}+\sqrt[3]{3-\sqrt{17}}\Rightarrow a^3=3+\sqrt{17}+3-\sqrt{17}+3\sqrt{\left(3+\sqrt{17}\right)\left(3-\sqrt{17}\right)}\left(\sqrt[3]{3+\sqrt{17}}+\sqrt[3]{3-\sqrt{17}}\right)\\ =6+3a.\sqrt[3]{9-17}\\ =6-6a\\ \Rightarrow f\left(a\right)=\left(a^3+6a-5\right)^{2015}=\left(6-6a+6a-5\right)^{2015}=1\)
