GPT-4o mini · Answer

To evaluate the expression $ \sqrt{19} - 32 $, we first note that: 1. $ \sqrt{19} $ is an irrational number because 19 is not a perfect square. 2. $ -32 $ is an integer, and any integer is also a rational number. When you subtract an irrational number ($ \sqrt{19} $) from a rational number (which can include integers), the result will still be an irrational number. Thus, the expression $ \sqrt{19} - 32 $ will also be an **irrational number**. The correct response is: **an irrational number**.
