Answer 1

To evaluate the expression \( \sqrt{19} - 32 \), we need to analyze each part of the expression.

1. \( \sqrt{19} \) is an irrational number because 19 is not a perfect square.

2. The number 32 is a whole number and also an integer.

When we subtract a whole number (32) from an irrational number (\( \sqrt{19} \)), the result remains an irrational number. Therefore, the expression \( \sqrt{19} - 32 \) is an irrational number.

The correct response is:
**an irrational number**
