Sure! Let's evaluate the expression [tex]\( n(1 - n) \)[/tex] when [tex]\( n = 8 \)[/tex].
1. Substitute [tex]\( n \)[/tex] with 8 in the expression:
[tex]\[
8(1 - 8)
\][/tex]
2. Calculate the expression inside the parentheses first:
[tex]\[
1 - 8 = -7
\][/tex]
3. Now multiply 8 by the result of the subtraction:
[tex]\[
8 \times -7 = -56
\][/tex]
Thus, the value of the expression [tex]\( n(1 - n) \)[/tex] when [tex]\( n = 8 \)[/tex] is [tex]\(\boxed{-56}\)[/tex].
