New equation? y=3tan(2x) shifted down 5 and 60 left?

[aisha]

Im not sure I think it is either

y=3tan (2(x-60))-5

OR

y=3tan(2x-60)-5

which will become y=3 tan(2 (x-30))-5 but I think this one is wrong

if the first one is right then should the 60 have a negative or plus sign before it?

HELP! QUICK!

Think about this. Suppose you have the function f(x) and you want to shift the graph to the right by an amount a. Should the new shifted function be f(x-a) or f(x+a)?
You can answer this by looking at the value of a single point, for example f(0). The shifted function f(x-a) has that value not at x=0, but at x=a, since f(a-a)=f(0), so is that function shifted to the left or to the right?

Also, if the original function is f(x)=3tan(2x) and you want to shift the thing over 60 units, which do you think is correct? 3tan(2(x-60)) or 3tan(2(x-30))?
Which of these is of the form f(x-60)?
