Question

What type of number will result from the expression of √19 - 3/2 and in trigger a whole number a rational number any rational number

Answer 1

To evaluate the expression \( \sqrt{19} - \frac{3}{2} \):

1. First, we know that \( \sqrt{19} \) is an irrational number because 19 is not a perfect square.
2. Next, \( \frac{3}{2} \) is a rational number.

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

In summary, the expression \( \sqrt{19} - \frac{3}{2} \) results in an **irrational number**.
