Hyperbolic tangent

Builds on Hyperbolic sineHyperbolic cosine

Definition

The hyperbolic tangent is the function tanh⁡ ⁣:ℝ→ℝ\tanh \colon \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} defined by tanh⁡x=sinh⁡xcosh⁡x=ex−e−xex+e−x.\tanh x = \frac{\sinh x}{\cosh x} = \frac{e^x - e^{-x}}{e^x + e^{-x}}.

Remarks

The quotient is defined everywhere, since cosh⁡x≥1\cosh x \ge 1. It is odd and strictly increasing, with range (−1,1)(-1, 1). Also tanh⁡x→±1\tanh x \to \pm 1 as x→±∞x \to \pm \infty. Mathlib defines it as Real.tanh.
