NAME
tanh - hyperbolic tangent
SYNOPSIS
tanh(x [,eps])
TYPES
x real
eps nonzero real, 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)
.76159 .761594156 .761594155955765 .76159415595576488812
LIMITS
unlike sin and cos, x must be real
eps > 0
LINK LIBRARY
NUMBER *qtanh(NUMBER *x, NUMBER *eps)
