The expression \( 5 - \sqrt{3} \) can be interpreted in terms of rational exponents by representing the square root as an exponent.
The square root of a number can be written using a rational exponent:
\[
\sqrt{3} = 3^{1/2}
\]
However, the expression \( 5 - \sqrt{3} \) itself cannot be rewritten with a rational exponent because it contains subtraction.
If the question is about rewriting just \( \sqrt{3} \) using a rational exponent, then the answer would be \( 3^{1/2} \). But if we consider the expression as a whole, such as \( 5 \), it does not have a straightforward representation as an exponent without context.
None of the provided multiple-choice responses appropriately represent \( 5 - \sqrt{3} \) using a rational exponent or indicate a simplification of the entire expression.
If the focus were just on expressing \( \sqrt{3} \) in terms of a rational exponent, the response would be \( 3^{1/2} \).
So to clarify, \( 5 - \sqrt{3} \) cannot be simply rewritten using any of the options provided without additional context or clarity in the question structure.
