About Hyperbolic Tangent (tanh)

The hyperbolic tangent, denoted as tanh(x), is a hyperbolic function defined as the ratio of the hyperbolic sine (sinh(x)) to the hyperbolic cosine (cosh(x)).

Formula: tanh(x) = sinh(x) / cosh(x) = (ex - e-x) / (ex + e-x)

It is analogous to the trigonometric tangent function but uses hyperbolas instead of circles. The value of tanh(x) always lies between -1 and 1. It is used in various fields like physics, machine learning, and engineering.
