The inverse hyperbolic tangent function, in modern notation written as artanh(x) or arctanh(x) or tanh-1x, gives the value t (hyperbolic angle), so that:
The inverse hyperbolic tangent function accepts arguments in real open interval (-1,1), because . Since the hyperbolic tangent is defined through the natural exponential function , its inverse can be defined through the natural logarithm function, using the following formula, for real x, with |x|<1:
Properties
The derivative of the inverse hyperbolic tangent function is:
The integral of the inverse hyperbolic tangent function is given by:
