The expression \( 5 - \sqrt{3} \) can be rewritten using a rational exponent. The square root can be expressed as an exponent of \( \frac{1}{2} \).

So, \( \sqrt{3} \) can be rewritten as \( 3^{1/2} \).

However, in terms of the given question which focuses on the rewriting of \( 5 - \sqrt{3} \) itself, none of the options directly represent the expression appropriately.

If you meant to rewrite just \( \sqrt{3} \) using a rational exponent, then it would be \( 3^{1/2} \).

If the intention is indeed to rewrite the entire expression \( 5 - \sqrt{3} \) using a rational exponent, the appropriate answer isn't provided in the options you've given.

If we're strictly choosing from the provided options without any modifications, I'd recommend checking the problem statement again for accuracy, or match the question with the respective correct expression if it was meant differently. Could you clarify if you're looking for just the square root or a different expression?

change 5-√3 to 3over√5

To change \( 5 - \sqrt{3} \) to \( \frac{3}{\sqrt{5}} \), we need to verify if this is a legitimate transformation or if there's any specific context in which this holds true.

However, these two expressions are not equivalent, so let's clarify their meanings:

1. **The expression \( 5 - \sqrt{3} \)** is a subtraction operation involving a whole number and a square root.

2. **The expression \( \frac{3}{\sqrt{5}} \)** is a fraction where 3 is divided by the square root of 5.

If we want to rewrite \( 5 - \sqrt{3} \) in terms of a fraction, we cannot directly convert it to \( \frac{3}{\sqrt{5}} \).

If you're attempting to simplify or manipulate these expressions in a specific way (for example, rationalizing a denominator or factoring), please provide more context or clarify your goal, and I can help with that! Otherwise, as it stands, \( 5 - \sqrt{3} \) cannot be simply changed to \( \frac{3}{\sqrt{5}} \).

is it A,B,C,or D?

It seems there may have been a misunderstanding in your earlier questions. Based on the options you've given for rewriting the expression \(5 - \sqrt{3}\) using a rational exponent, none of them are directly applicable to \(5 - \sqrt{3}\) specifically.

However, if you're referring to rewriting it in terms of the given options:

1. **\(3^{5}\)** (Option A)
2. **\(5^{1/3}\)** (Option B)
3. **\(5^{3}\)** (Option C)
4. **\(5^{1}\)** (Option D)

None of these options correspond to the expression \(5 - \sqrt{3}\).

If you meant to ask how to represent **only the \(\sqrt{3}\)** using a rational exponent in relation to the previous part about rewriting \( \sqrt{3} \), it would be represented as \(3^{1/2}\), but again this option isn’t listed.

If the question was to transform or rationalize \(5 - \sqrt{3}\) in some manner, please confirm that, or specify if you need a different transformation or the rationalization of one of the options above.

If you might be looking for options related to parts of the expression instead of the overall value \(5 - \sqrt{3}\), please clarify that. As it stands, I cannot mark any of the options A, B, C, or D as correct in relation to the expression \(5 - \sqrt{3}\).
