\cos(\alpha - \beta)= \cos(\alpha)\cos(\beta) + \sin(\alpha)\sin(\beta) \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ -300\implies 30-330\hspace{5em}\cos(-300^o)\implies \cos(30^o-330^o) \\\\\\ \cos(30^o-330^o)\implies \cos(30^o)\cos(330^o)+\sin(30^o)\sin(330^o) \\\\\\ \cfrac{√(3)}{2}\cdot \cfrac{√(3)}{2}~~ + ~~\cfrac{1}{2}\cdot \cfrac{-1}{2}\implies \cfrac{3}{4}~~ + ~~\cfrac{-1}{4}\implies \cfrac{3}{4}-\cfrac{1}{4}\implies \cfrac{2}{4}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{1}{2}}
