TANH( X ) Hyperbolic TANgent of X

Scroll Prev Top Next More

Returns the hyperbolic tangent of X.  Sometimes useful for generating S-curve parametric relationships when lookup functions are not appropriate, e.g., when shape parameters need to be estimated using data.  

Units:TANH(dimensionless) --> dimensionless

Example

tanh( 1.0 ) is equal to 0.76159.

tanh( 0.0 ) is equal to 0.0.

tanh( 6.4 ) is equal to 0.99999.
