here is our equation

find f(pi/6)
---
step 1 - replace theta with pi/6 and we get

step 2 - find the values of
3tan(pi/6) and sin^2(pi/6) as
= 3*(sqrt(3)/3) =
= (1/2)^2 =
--
So, we get

which becomes

If however you meant the original problem as:

then we have
step 1 - replace theta with pi/6 and we get

step 2 - find the values of
3tan(pi/6) and sin(2(pi/6)) as
= 3*(sqrt(3)/3) =
= =
--
So, we get

which becomes
