atanh

Returns the inverse hyperbolic tangent of a.

Syntax

R = atanh(a)

Inputs

a: Any valid scalar | vector | matrix; Type: double | integer; Dimension: scalar | vector | matrix

Outputs

R: scalar | vector | matrix

Examples

Simple scalar input:

atanh(-2)

R = -1.10715

Simple matrix input:

atanh([2,3,4])

R = [ 1.10715 1.24905 1.32582 ]

Complex matrix input:

atanh([i+1,-2-i, 6i, 1])
