Solution:

\begin{aligned} \cos \left(105^{\circ}\right) &=\cos \left(60^{\circ}+45^{\circ}\right) \ &=\cos 60^{\circ} \cos 45^{\circ}-\sin 60^{\circ} \sin 45^{\circ} \ &=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)-\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right) \ &=\frac{1-\sqrt{3}}{2 \sqrt{2}} \quad \text { or } \quad-0.2588 \end{aligned}
