Given an input tensor, this function computes hyperbolic tangent of every
element in the tensor. Input range is `[-inf, inf]` and
output range is `[-1,1]`.

<br />

      x = tf.constant([-float("inf"), -5, -0.5, 1, 1.2, 2, 3, float("inf")])
      tf.math.tanh(x)
        <tf.Tensor: shape=(8,), dtype=float32, numpy=
        array([-1.0, -0.99990916, -0.46211717,  0.7615942 ,  0.8336547 ,
                0.9640276 ,  0.9950547 ,  1.0], dtype=float32)>

| ## Args ||
|---|---|
| `x` | A `Tensor`. Must be one of the following types: `bfloat16`, `half`, `float32`, `float64`, `complex64`, `complex128`. |
| `name` | A name for the operation (optional). |

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

| ## Returns ||
|---|---|
| A `Tensor`. Has the same type as `x`. <br /> If `x` is a `SparseTensor`, returns `SparseTensor(x.indices, tf.math.tanh(x.values, ...), x.dense_shape)` ||
