$(2+3x)^5 \\rightarrow (1+x)^n$ or $(a+b)^n$

$(a+b)^n = a^n + \\binom{n}{1}a^{n-1}b + \\binom{n}{2}a^{n-2}b^2 + \\binom{n}{3}a^{n-3}b^3 + ... + b^n$, where $n$ is a positive integer

From MF27: $\\tan x \\approx x$ when $x$ is small

Since $\\tan x = \\dfrac{\\sin x}{\\cos x} \\approx \\dfrac{x - \\frac{x^3}{3!}}{1 - \\frac{x^2}{2!}} \\approx x\\left(1 - \\frac{x^2}{6}\\right)\\left(1 - \\frac{x^2}{2}\\right)^{-1}$

Also: $\\sin x \\approx \\tan x \\approx x$ when $x$ is small

Non-repeated linear factors: $\\dfrac{px+q}{(ax+b)(cx+d)} = \\dfrac{A}{(ax+b)} + \\dfrac{B}{(cx+d)}$

Repeated linear factors: $\\dfrac{px^2+qx+r}{(ax+b)(cx+d)^2} = \\dfrac{A}{(ax+b)} + \\dfrac{B}{(cx+d)} + \\dfrac{C}{(cx+d)^2}$
