What type of number will result from the expression sqrt(19) - 3/2 (1 point) a rational number a whole number an integer an irrational number

1 answer

To determine the type of number that results from the expression \(\sqrt{19} - \frac{3}{2}\), we can analyze each component of the expression.

  1. \(\sqrt{19}\) is an irrational number, as 19 is not a perfect square and cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers.
  2. \(\frac{3}{2}\) is a rational number.

When you subtract a rational number from an irrational number, the result remains irrational. Therefore, the expression \(\sqrt{19} - \frac{3}{2}\) is irrational.

So, the answer is: an irrational number.
