Verified answer
replace cos^2 = 1 - sin^2 and solve
cos(t)^2 = 1 - sin(t)^2
2 * cos(2t)^2 = 3 * sin(2t)
2 * (1 - sin(2t)^2) = 3 * sin(2t)
2 - 2 * sin(2t)^2 = 3 * sin(2t)
2 * sin(2t)^2 + 3 * sin(2t) - 2 = 0
sin(2t) = (-3 +/- sqrt(9 + 16)) / 4
sin(2t) = (-3 +/- 5) / 4
sin(2t) = -8/4 , 2/4
sin(2t) = -2 , 1/2
sin(2t) cannot equal -2, so that's extraneous
sin(2t) = 1/2
sin(2t) = sin(30) , sin(150) , sin(390) , sin(510)
2t = 30 , 150 , 390 , 510
t = 15 , 75 , 195 , 255
