Problem
What is the value of ![\[(\log 5)^{3}+(\log 20)^{3}+(\log 8)(\log 0.25)\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/a/f/1/af1508c28c6d3e8f63ecd5c43998464209b05c65.png)
where 
denotes the base-ten logarithm?
Solution
Let 
. The expression then becomes ![\[(1+x)^3+(1-x)^3+(3x)(-2x)=\boxed{2}.\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/2/2/3/223a30976aa281499351492cd728483a4e1456b3.png)
