ATANH

Returns the inverse hyperbolic tangent of a number.

MathATANH(value)

The ATANH function in Google Sheets returns the inverse hyperbolic tangent of a number, a value between -1 and 1 exclusive. It's used in advanced mathematical, statistical, and engineering calculations involving hyperbolic functions. Dive into our comprehensive guide to master its application.

Parameters

  • value: A number between -1 and 1, exclusive, for which to calculate the inverse hyperbolic tangent.

Step-by-Step Tutorial

  1. Using ATANH with a decimal value:

    • Example: =ATANH(0.5)
    • Result: 0.549306...
  2. Using ATANH with a negative value:

    • Example: =ATANH(-0.5)
    • Result: -0.549306...
