D. a rational number

Answer 1

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

1. \( \sqrt{19} \) is an irrational number because it cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers.
2. Subtracting 32 (which is a rational number) from an irrational number results in an irrational number.

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

The correct response is:

C. an irrational number.
