Question

What type of number will result from the expression 19−−√−32 ?(1 point) Responses an irrational number an irrational number a whole number a whole number an integer an integer a rational number a rational number

Answer 1

To evaluate the expression \( \sqrt{19} - 32 \), we need to look at the components:

1. \( \sqrt{19} \) is an irrational number since 19 is not a perfect square.
2. \( -32 \) is a rational number (it can be expressed as a fraction).

Now, let's analyze the entire expression:

- An irrational number (such as \( \sqrt{19} \)) subtracted from a rational number (such as -32) will still be irrational. This is because the sum or difference of a rational number and an irrational number is always irrational.

Thus, the result of the expression \( \sqrt{19} - 32 \) is an **irrational number**.
