Answer 1

To evaluate the expression \( \sqrt{19} - 32 \), we'll first determine the nature of each term.

1. \( \sqrt{19} \) is an irrational number because 19 is not a perfect square.
2. \( 32 \) is a rational number and specifically an integer.

Now, when you subtract an irrational number from a rational number (or in this case, an integer), the result will still be an irrational number.

Therefore, the expression \( \sqrt{19} - 32 \) will result in:

**an irrational number**.
