$$\mathrm{tanh}\:{x}\:=\:\frac{{e}^{{x}} −{e}^{−{x}} }{{e}^{{x}} +{e}^{−{x}} }=\frac{{e}^{{i}×{ix}} −{e}^{−{i}×{ix}} }{{e}^{{i}×{ix}} +{e}^{−{i}×{ix}} }= \\ $$$$=\frac{\mathrm{cos}\:{ix}\:+\:{i}\mathrm{sin}\:{ix}\:−\:\mathrm{cos}\:{ix}\:+\:{i}\mathrm{sin}\:{x}}{\mathrm{cos}\:{ix}\:+\:{i}\mathrm{sin}\:{ix}\:+\:\mathrm{cos}\:{ix}−\:{i}\mathrm{sin}\:{x}}= \\ $$$$={i}\frac{\mathrm{2sin}\:{ix}}{\mathrm{2cos}\:{ix}}={i}\mathrm{tan}\:{ix} \\ $$$${where}\:{e}^{{i}\theta} =\mathrm{cos}\:{i}\theta\:+\:{i}\mathrm{sin}\:{i}\theta \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{tanh}\:{x}\:=\:{i}\mathrm{tan}\:{ix} \\ $$
