So, I'm doing a problem where I take arctanh to a limit, and I was wondering if the arctanh function goes to infinity if the argument inside of the function goes to infinity when passing through the limit.

Is the argument real or complex? For real numbers, |tanh| ≤ 1. If the argument for arctanh is not in the domain [-1,1], then arctanh must be complex.
