Substitute \begin{array} {10}e^{2x}=t\to x=\dfrac{\ln(t)}{2}\\ dt= 2e^{2x} dt\\ \mid_{-\infty}^\infty \to \mid_0^\infty\end{array} The integrand becomes: 4 1 ∫ 0 ∞ ln ( t ) t n / 2 − 1 e − t dt Consider the gamma functions: Γ ( a ) = ∫ 0 ∞ t a − 1 e − t dt d.w.r.a Γ ′ ( a ) = ∫ 0 ∞ ln ( t ) t a − 1 e − t dt put a=n/2 and divide by four 4 1 Γ ′ ( n / 2 ) = 4 1 ∫ 0 ∞ ln ( t ) t n / 2 − 1 e − t dt We have 4 1 Γ ′ ( n / 2 ) = 4 1 Γ ( n / 2 ) Γ ′ ( n / 2 ) Γ ( n / 2 ) = 4 1 ψ ( n / 2 ) Γ ( n / 2 )
