[Here’s a thread](https://community.deeplearning.ai/t/relu-lrelu-does-not-work-for-forward-propagation-in-planar-data-classification-with-one-hidden-layer/23295/7) from a while back in which using ReLU for this exercise is also discussed.

[Here’s a post from mentor Raymond](https://community.deeplearning.ai/t/w-3-a1-relu-vs-tanh-accuracy/229609/4) which goes into more detail on this question.
