Math.atanh(1) Equals Infinity

πŸ“– Usage Example
// Inverse hyperbolic tangent (input in (-1, 1))
Math.atanh(0)    // β†’ 0
Math.atanh(0.5)  // β†’ 0.5493...

Use Math.atanh() to compute the inverse hyperbolic tangent of a number strictly between -1 and 1.

Math.atanh(x)

Math.atanh(1) returns Infinity because the function diverges as x β†’ 1.

Challenge: Verify that Math.atanh(1) returns Infinity.

πŸ’‘ Hints (2)
  • β€’ atanh diverges to +∞ as x β†’ 1⁻
  • β€’ The boundary x=1 is not in the domain
