JavaScript | Math.atanh() function

The Math.atanh() function is an inbuit function in JavaScript which is used to get hyperbolic arctangent of a number.
The hyperbolic arctangent is known by many names such as hyperbolic inverse tangent and atanh.It is inverse of the hyperbolic tangent function i.e, The inverse hyperbolic tangent of any value say x is the value y for which the hyperbolic tangent of y is x.

if y = atanh(x)
then x = tanh(y)

we have,

atanh(x) = \frac{1}{2} ln(\frac{1+x}{1-x})



Syntax: 

Math.atanh(x)

Parameters:

  • Here x is a number whose hyperbolic arctangent is going to be calculated.

    • Return value:

  • It returns the hyperbolic arc-tangent of the given number.

    • Browser Support:

  • Here 2nd column contain int values which are the version of the corresponding browser.

Examples:

Input: Math.atanh(-1)
Output: -Infinity

Explaination:
Here output 0 is the hyperbolic arc-sine of a number 1. 

Input: Math.atanh(0)
Output: 0

Input: Math.atanh(0.5)
Output: 0.5493061443340548

Input: Math.atanh(1)
Output: Infinity

Input: Math.atanh(1.2)
Output: NaN

Input: Math.atanh(-2.2)
Output: NaN

For values greater than 1 or less than -1, NaN i.e, not a number is returned.

// Here different values is being used for

console.log(Math.atanh(-1));
console.log(Math.atanh(0));

console.log(Math.atanh(1));
console.log(Math.atanh(1.2));
console.log(Math.atanh(-2.2));

Application:

Whenever we need to get a get hyperbolic arc-tangent of a number that time we can take help of Math.atanh() function in JavaScript.
