For (i) I did it by turning the integrand into infinite series, but what is the method by applying binomial theorem?

For (iii) I'm unsure as to a good "trigonometric substitution".

For the first question, the binomial expansion of a similar function $$ \frac{1}{1-x} = 1 + x + \frac{1}{2}\cdot (1)(2)x^2+\cdots $$
or negative binomial expansion
