Answer:

680

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the binomial coefficient where you choose k=3 numbers out of n=17 possible numbers and find the total amount of combinations since order does not matter:

\displaystyle \binom{n}{k}=\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}\\ \\\binom{17}{3}=\frac{17!}{3!(17-3)!}\\\\\binom{17}{3}=\frac{17!}{3!(14)!}\\\\\binom{17}{3}=\frac{17*16*15}{3*2*1}\\\\\binom{17}{3}=680

Thus, you can make 680 three-non-repeating-number codes

If x∆y = 3x - y², then

5∆1 = 3×5 - 1² = 15 - 1 = 14

and

14∆6 = 3×14 - 6² = 42 - 36 = 6

So (5∆1)∆6 = 6.
