For k=1 the solution is (tanh(x))^2 and using the loop if i evaluate the value for x=-10 the answer is 0.999999999 .But if directly put the value of x=-10 in (tanh(x))^2 the value is -1 .Why this difference appear?

one possibility:
(tanh(-10))^2
ans = 1.0000 % correct
although
tanh(-(10)^2) % traveling parenthesis
ans = -1

Hi yp,
what I meant was, as I understand the problem the first expression (used in the loop) is correct, and the second expression is incorrect. The second expression is a totally different function because the parenthesis is in a different place. I am speculating about what went wrong, and the second expression might not be what you used, but it does have the "correct incorrect answer" of -1.
