The validity of (1-q) expansion and factorization approximations are analysed in the framework of Tsallis statistics. We employ exact expressions for classical independent systems (harmonic oscillators) by considering the unnormalized and normalized constrainsts. We show that these approxiamtions can not be accurate in the analysis of systems with many degrees of freedom.
