cos(13𝜋/15)cos(-𝜋/5)-sin(13𝜋/15)sin(-𝜋/5) = cos(13π/15 - π/5) = cos(10π/15) = cos(2π/3) = - 1/2

Use an Addition or Subtraction Formula to write the expression as a trigonometric function of one number.
cos(13𝜋/15)cos(-𝜋/5)-sin(13𝜋/15)sin(-𝜋/5)

cos(13𝜋/15)cos(-𝜋/5)-sin(13𝜋/15)sin(-𝜋/5)
This has the format of a trig identity - Cos (A+B) = Cos A Cos B - SinA SinB
Then = Cos ( 13π/15 + (-π/5) )
= Cos( 12π/5) = Cos(144°) = -0.809
