Math::Tanh Method (Double)

 

Returns the hyperbolic tangent of the specified angle.

Namespace:   System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

public:
static double Tanh(
	double value
)

Parameters

value
Type: System::Double

An angle, measured in radians.

Return Value

Type: System::Double

The hyperbolic tangent of value. If value is equal to NegativeInfinity, this method returns -1. If value is equal to PositiveInfinity, this method returns 1. If value is equal to NaN, this method returns NaN.

The angle, value, must be in radians. Multiply by Math::PI/180 to convert degrees to radians.

The following example uses Tanh to evaluate certain hyperbolic tangent identities for selected values.

// Example for the hyperbolic Math::Tanh( double ) method.
using namespace System;

// Evaluate hyperbolic identities with a given argument.
void UseTanh( double arg )
{
   double tanhArg = Math::Tanh( arg );

   // Evaluate tanh(X) == sinh(X) / cosh(X).
   Console::WriteLine( "\n                        Math::Tanh({0}) == {1:E16}\n"
   "      Math::Sinh({0}) / Math::Cosh({0}) == {2:E16}", arg, tanhArg, (Math::Sinh( arg ) / Math::Cosh( arg )) );

   // Evaluate tanh(2 * X) == 2 * tanh(X) / (1 + tanh^2(X)).
   Console::WriteLine( "                    2 * Math::Tanh({0}) /", arg, 2.0 * tanhArg );
   Console::WriteLine( "              (1 + (Math::Tanh({0}))^2) == {1:E16}", arg, 2.0 * tanhArg / (1.0 + tanhArg * tanhArg) );
   Console::WriteLine( "                        Math::Tanh({0}) == {1:E16}", 2.0 * arg, Math::Tanh( 2.0 * arg ) );
}


// Evaluate a hyperbolic identity that is a function of two arguments.
void UseTwoArgs( double argX, double argY )
{

   // Evaluate tanh(X + Y) == (tanh(X) + tanh(Y)) / (1 + tanh(X) * tanh(Y)).
   Console::WriteLine( "\n    (Math::Tanh({0}) + Math::Tanh({1})) /\n"

   Console::WriteLine( "                        Math::Tanh({0}) == {1:E16}", argX + argY, Math::Tanh( argX + argY ) );
}

int main()
{
   Console::WriteLine( "This example of hyperbolic Math::Tanh( double )\n"
   "generates the following output." );
