1. **Problem i.a:** Simplify $\left(3x^5\right)^4$ using the laws of indices.
2. The law of indices states that $(ab)^n = a^n b^n$ and $(x^m)^n = x^{mn}$.
3. Apply the law: $\left(3x^5\right)^4 = 3^4 \times \left(x^5\right)^4$.
4. Calculate powers: $3^4 = 81$ and $\left(x^5\right)^4 = x^{5 \times 4} = x^{20}$.
5. So, $\left(3x^5\right)^4 = 81x^{20}$.
6. **Problem i.b:** Simplify $47^{-3}$.
7. The law of indices for negative powers: $a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n}$.
8. So, $47^{-3} = \frac{1}{47^3}$.
9. **Problem ii:** Rewrite $\sqrt{9x}^{75}$ as an exponential expression.
10. Recall that $\sqrt{a} = a^{\frac{1}{2}}$.
11. So, $\sqrt{9x} = (9x)^{\frac{1}{2}}$.
12. Raising to the 75th power: $\left((9x)^{\frac{1}{2}}\right)^{75} = (9x)^{\frac{1}{2} \times 75} = (9x)^{\frac{75}{2}}$.
13. Final exponential form: $(9x)^{\frac{75}{2}}$.
