The Note: See (37) part is from Euler. I read about it for the first time. I was trying to solve it but couldn't.

You can use Beta function, by what I mean that you can transform that term to integral form using Beta function and then it comes out right, I guess.

@Kartik Sharma – I did try with Beta, but maybe not hard enough.
