1. **State the problems:**
We have two problems:
(1) Solve the quadratic equation $$6y^2 - 15y + 1 = 0$$.
(2) Simplify the expression $$4y^2 + \frac{1}{4y^2}$$.
2. **Solve the quadratic equation:**
The quadratic equation is $$6y^2 - 15y + 1 = 0$$.
Use the quadratic formula:
$$y = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$$
where $$a=6$$, $$b=-15$$, and $$c=1$$.
Calculate the discriminant:
$$\Delta = b^2 - 4ac = (-15)^2 - 4 \times 6 \times 1 = 225 - 24 = 201$$.
Calculate the roots:
$$y = \frac{15 \pm \sqrt{201}}{12}$$.
3. **Simplify the expression:**
Given:
$$4y^2 + \frac{1}{4y^2}$$
This expression cannot be simplified further without knowing the value of $$y$$, so the simplified form is:
$$4y^2 + \frac{1}{4y^2}$$.
**Final answers:**
(1) $$y = \frac{15 \pm \sqrt{201}}{12}$$
(2) $$4y^2 + \frac{1}{4y^2}$$
