What type of number will result from the expression sqrt(19) - (3/2)' (1 point) integer an irrational number a rational number a whole number

1 answer

To determine the type of number that results from the expression \( \sqrt{19} - \frac{3}{2} \), we can analyze each part:

  1. \( \sqrt{19} \) is an irrational number because 19 is not a perfect square.
  2. \( \frac{3}{2} \) is a rational number.

The result of an irrational number minus a rational number is still an irrational number. Therefore, the expression \( \sqrt{19} - \frac{3}{2} \) is an irrational number.

So the answer is: an irrational number.
