co-seno OR cosseno


Explanation:
Both forms are acceptable: co-seno and cosseno. The acronym is the same as in Spanish or English. Here's how it's defined in the Aurelio dictionary:

[De co-2 + seno.]

2. Mat. Função periódica de uma variável, igual a um, quando a variável é zero, e cuja derivada segunda lhe é simétrica [símb.: cos ] .

u Co-seno hiperbólico. Mat.
1. Função transcendente igual à média aritmética entre duas exponências com os expoentes simétricos.

u Co-seno hiperbólico inverso. Mat.
