Answer

$$\frac{\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{6}}{4}$$

Work Step by Step

Since $$\cos(x+y)= \cos x\cos y- \sin x\sin y $$ Then \begin{align*} \cos(105^{\circ})&= \cos(45^{\circ}+60^{\circ})\\ &=\cos 45^{\circ}\cos 60^{\circ}- \sin45^{\circ}\sin 60^{\circ}\\ &= \frac{\sqrt{2}}{4}\sin \theta - \frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{3}}{4}\cos \theta\\ &= \frac{\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{6}}{4} \end{align*}
