tanh(1/2)

Solution

tanh (\frac{1}{2})

Solution

\frac{e ^{2} - 2 e ^{\frac{1}{2}} e + 1}{e ^{2} - 1}

Decimal Notation

0.46211 \dots

Solution steps

tanh (\frac{1}{2})

Use the Hyperbolic identity:

tanh (x) = \frac{e ^{x} - e ^{- x}}{e ^{x} + e ^{- x}}

= \frac{e ^{\frac{1}{2}} - e ^{- \frac{1}{2}}}{e ^{\frac{1}{2}} + e ^{- \frac{1}{2}}}

\frac{e ^{\frac{1}{2}} - e ^{- \frac{1}{2}}}{e ^{\frac{1}{2}} + e ^{- \frac{1}{2}}} = \frac{e ^{2} - 2 e ^{\frac{1}{2}} e + 1}{e ^{2} - 1}

\frac{e ^{\frac{1}{2}} - e ^{- \frac{1}{2}}}{e ^{\frac{1}{2}} + e ^{- \frac{1}{2}}}

Apply exponent rule:

a^{- b} = \frac{1}{a ^{b}}

e^{- \frac{1}{2}} = \frac{1}{e}

= \frac{e ^{\frac{1}{2}} - \frac{1}{e}}{e ^{\frac{1}{2}} + \frac{1}{e}}

Join

e^{\frac{1}{2}} + \frac{1}{e} : \frac{e ^{\frac{1}{2}} e + 1}{e}

e^{\frac{1}{2}} + \frac{1}{e}

Convert element to fraction:

e^{\frac{1}{2}} = \frac{e ^{\frac{1}{2}} e}{e}

= \frac{e ^{\frac{1}{2}} e}{e} + \frac{1}{e}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{e ^{\frac{1}{2}} e + 1}{e}

= \frac{e ^{\frac{1}{2}} - \frac{1}{e}}{\frac{e ^{\frac{1}{2}} e + 1}{e}}

Join

e^{\frac{1}{2}} - \frac{1}{e} : \frac{e ^{\frac{1}{2}} e - 1}{e}

e^{\frac{1}{2}} - \frac{1}{e}

Convert element to fraction:

e^{\frac{1}{2}} = \frac{e ^{\frac{1}{2}} e}{e}

= \frac{e ^{\frac{1}{2}} e}{e} - \frac{1}{e}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{e ^{\frac{1}{2}} e - 1}{e}

= \frac{\frac{e ^{\frac{1}{2}} e - 1}{e}}{\frac{e ^{\frac{1}{2}} e + 1}{e}}

Divide fractions:

\frac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}{d}} = \frac{a \cdot d}{b \cdot c}

= \frac{( e ^{\frac{1}{2}} e - 1 ) e}{e ( e ^{\frac{1}{2}} e + 1 )}

Cancel the common factor:

e

= \frac{e ^{\frac{1}{2}} e - 1}{e ^{\frac{1}{2}} e + 1}

Rationalize

\frac{e ^{\frac{1}{2}} e - 1}{e ^{\frac{1}{2}} e + 1} : \frac{e ^{2} - 2 e ^{\frac{1}{2}} e + 1}{e ^{2} - 1}

\frac{e ^{\frac{1}{2}} e - 1}{e ^{\frac{1}{2}} e + 1}

Multiply by the conjugate

\frac{e ^{\frac{1}{2}} e - 1}{e ^{\frac{1}{2}} e - 1}

= \frac{( e ^{\frac{1}{2}} e - 1 ) ( e ^{\frac{1}{2}} e - 1 )}{( e ^{\frac{1}{2}} e + 1 ) ( e ^{\frac{1}{2}} e - 1 )}

(e^{\frac{1}{2}} e - 1) (e^{\frac{1}{2}} e - 1) = e^{2} - 2 e^{\frac{1}{2}} e + 1

(e^{\frac{1}{2}} e - 1) (e^{\frac{1}{2}} e - 1)

Apply exponent rule:

= (e^{\frac{1}{2}} e - 1)^{1 + 1}

Add the numbers:
