Answer:

(7 -24√3)/50 = 0.14 -0.48√3

Explanation:

Sine is negative and cosine is positive in the 4th quadrant, so ...

sin(α) = -√(1 -cos(α)²) = -√(1 -576/625) = -7/25

Then the cosine of the angle sum is ...

cos(α +5π/6) = cos(α)cos(5π/6) -sin(α)sin(5π/6)

= (24/25)(-√3/2) -(-7/25)(1/2)

= (7 -24√3)/50 = 0.14 -0.48√3
