To rewrite 5^ √3 using a rational exponent, we need to express the square root (√3) as a fraction exponent.

First, let's rewrite the square root (√3) as a fraction with a numerator and a denominator:

√3 = 3^(1/2)

Now, we can substitute this expression for the square root (√3) in 5^ √3:

5^ √3 = 5^(3^(1/2))
