Analytic Trigonometry

Help me, im trying everything and its not working(Doh)

Verify that the x-values are solutions of the equation.

$3tan^2(2x-1) = 0$
$a.) x = \pi/12$
$b.) x = 5\pi/12$

i need to know the steps. thanks a bunch!

Dear hydride,

$x=\frac{\pi}{12}~and~x=\frac{5\pi}{12}$ are not solutions of the given trignometric equation.

For example, $3tan^{2}(2x-1)=2.07\times{10^{-4}}~when~x=\frac{\pi}{12}$
