NAME atanh - inverse hyperbolic tangent SYNOPSIS atanh(x [,eps]) TYPES x real eps 0 < real < 1, defaults to epsilon() return real DESCRIPTION Returns the atanh of x to a multiple of eps with error less in absolute value than .75 * eps. atanh(x) is the real number v for which tanh(v) = x. It is given by atanh(x) = ln((1 + x)/(1 - x))/2 EXAMPLE ; print atanh(.5,1e-5), atanh(.5,1e-10), atanh(.5,1e-15), atanh(.5,1e-20) 0.54931 0.5493061443 0.549306144334055 0.5493061443340548457 LIMITS 0 < eps < 1 LINK LIBRARY NUMBER *qatanh(NUMBER *x, NUMBER *eps) SEE ALSO sinh, cosh, tanh, coth, sech, csch asinh, acosh, acoth, asech, acsch epsilon ## Copyright (C) 1999,2021,2023 Landon Curt Noll ## ## Calc is open software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under ## the terms of the version 2.1 of the GNU Lesser General Public License ## as published by the Free Software Foundation. ## ## Calc is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ## ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY ## or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
