Answer 1

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

1. The square root of \( 19 \) (i.e., \( \sqrt{19} \)) is an irrational number because \( 19 \) is not a perfect square.
2. Subtracting \( 32 \) (a rational number) from an irrational number (\( \sqrt{19} \)) will result in another irrational number.

Thus, the result of the expression \( \sqrt{19} - 32 \) is:

an irrational number.
