Question

What type of number will result from the expression 19−−√−32 ?(1 point)

Answer 1

To evaluate the expression \( \sqrt{19} - 32 \):

1. First, find \( \sqrt{19} \). The square root of 19 is an irrational number (approximately 4.36).
2. Next, subtract 32 from that value: \( \sqrt{19} - 32 \).

Since \( \sqrt{19} \) is approximately 4.36, subtracting 32 from it gives:

\[
4.36 - 32 \approx -27.64
\]

Thus, the result is a negative real number.

Therefore, the type of number resulting from the expression \( \sqrt{19} - 32 \) is a **negative real number**.
