Default
\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{6} + \frac{\pi}{3}\right) = \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) = 0

\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right)\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) - \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right)\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right)

look at your unit circle and evaluate the above expression ... you should get 0, right?
