tan()
PURPOSE
: Returns the value of tangent (parameter).
FORMAT
: double tan(x) double x;
PARAMETERS
: x must be within the ]-1440°, +1440°[ or [-8
π
, 8
π
Radians ] range.
EXPLANATION
:
1. The unit of the parameter x is specified using the angle() function.
2. x must be different from 90° or 270° (
π
/2 or 3
π
/2 Radians).
3. The returned value is in the ]-1x10

tanh()
PURPOSE
: Returns the value of hyperbolic tangent (parameter).
FORMAT
: double tanh(x) double x;
PARAMETERS
: x must be within the ]-1x10
100
, 10
100
[ range.
EXPLANATION
:
1. The mathematical formula for hyperbolic tangent is :
tanh(x) = (e
x
- e
-x
) / (e
x
+ e
-x
) where e is 2.71828182845904523536028747...
2. The returned value is in the ]-1, 1[ range.
