call Beta function
B ( x , y ) = ∫ 0 1 t x − 1 ( 1 − t ) y − 1 d t d x d B ( x , y ) = d x d ∫ 0 1 t x − 1 ( 1 − t ) y − 1 d t B ( x , y ) ( ψ ( x ) − ψ ( x + y ) ) = ∫ 0 1 t x − 1 ( 1 − t ) y − 1 ln ( t ) d t B ( 1 , 2 1 ) ( ψ ( 1 ) − ψ ( 2 3 ) ) = ∫ 0 1 ( 1 − t ) − 2 1 ln ( t ) d t ∫ 0 1 1 − t ln ( t ) d t = 2 ( 2 ln ( 2 ) − 2 ) = 4 ( ln ( 2 ) − 1 ) put x = 1 , y = 2 1 β ( 1 , 2 1 ) = 2 , ψ ( 1 ) = − γ , ψ ( 2 3 ) = − γ − 2 ln ( 2 ) + 2
where γ is the Euler–Mascheroni constant .
@Hassan Abdulla , by convention capital letter beta B ( ⋅ ) instead of small letter beta β ( ⋅ ) is used to denote beta function just like gamma function Γ ( ⋅ ) is not γ ( ⋅ ) .

You are welcome. From Wikipedia :
"The beta function was studied by Euler and Legendre and was given its name by Jacques Binet; its symbol Β is a Greek capital beta rather than the similar Latin capital B or the Greek lowercase β."

I = ∫ 0 1 1 − t ln t d t = ∫ 0 1 t ln ( 1 − t ) d t = ∫ 0 1 2 ln ( 1 − x 2 ) d x = 2 ∫ 0 1 ( ln ( 1 + x ) + ln ( 1 − x ) ) d x = 2 [ ( 1 + x ) ln ( 1 + x ) − x − ( 1 − x ) ln ( 1 − x ) − x ] 0 1 = 2 ( 2 ln 2 − 2 ) = 4 ( ln 2 − 1 ) By identity ∫ a b f ( x ) d x = ∫ a b f ( a + b − x ) d x Let x 2 = t ⟹ 2 x d x = d t Note that x → 1 lim ( 1 − x ) ln ( 1 − x ) = 0
Therefore, a + b + c = 4 + 2 + 1 = 7 .
