I need to evaluate the function ( (e^x)-e^(-x))/x at values starting from 1e-6, 1e-7, 1e-8... to 1e-17 and have each output be stored in a table. How can I do this?

You can use a for loop to do that, evaluate the function at each point and store the result.
Another way is vectorize the operation, read more - Vectorization.
If you want to store the output in a specific way, please mention the output format.
format long
%define x
x = 10.^-(6:17)
x = 1×12
1.0e-06 * 1.000000000000000 0.100000000000000 0.010000000000000 0.001000000000000 0.000100000000000 0.000010000000000 0.000001000000000 0.000000100000000 0.000000010000000 0.000000001000000 0.000000000100000 0.000000000010000
f = (exp(x)-exp(-x))./x
f = 1×12

The format would be to store the input and output in a two column table. Thanks!

@DJ Mckenna
Is it the purpose of the exercise to see that usual floating point arithmetic as above gives "wrong" results ?

Error is part of it, but I am needing to compare it to some other functions as well

I think you should be able to read the documentation on how to create a table for the results.
