TANH Formula Syntax
Example Use Case
Calculating the hyperbolic tangent for bounded exponential modeling
Understanding the TANH Formula
The TANH function in Excel computes the hyperbolic tangent of a number, defined as sinh/cosh. It’s a hyperbolic function, ranging from -1 to 1, used in neural networks, statistics, or physics for bounded exponential behavior.
TANH(1) returns ~0.761, approaching 1 as input grows. It accepts any real number, offering a sigmoid-like curve—perfect for scaling or normalizing exponential data.
Why Use TANH?
TANH models bounded growth—think activation functions or signal processing. Its -1 to 1 range provides a balanced alternative to unbounded hyperbolic functions, fitting specific analytical needs.
Example with Sample Data
| Input | Formula | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | =TANH(1) | 0.76159 |
| 0 | =TANH(0) | 0 |
| -2 | =TANH(-2) | -0.96403 |
TANH bounds outputs: 1 is ~0.761, -2 nears -1. It’s a hyperbolic balancer.
