NAME tanh - hyperbolic tangent SYNOPSIS tanh(x [,eps]) TYPES x real eps 0 < real < 1, defaults to epsilon() return real DESCRIPTION Calculate the tanh of x to the nearest or next to nearest multiple of epsilon, with absolute error less than .75 * abs(eps). tanh(x) = (exp(2*x) - 1)/(exp(2*x) + 1) EXAMPLE ; print tanh(1, 1e-5), tanh(1, 1e-10), tanh(1, 1e-15), tanh(1, 1e-20) 0.76159 0.761594156 0.761594155955765 0.76159415595576488812 LIMITS unlike sin and cos, x must be real 0 < eps < 1 LINK LIBRARY NUMBER *qtanh(NUMBER *x, NUMBER *eps) SEE ALSO sinh, cosh, coth, sech, csch asinh, acosh, atanh, 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.
