F ( s ) = 0 d t t 3 / 2 e ( s t + 1 / t ) = 0 d t t 3 / 2 e s 1 / 2 [ s 1 / 2 t + 1 / ( s 1 / 2 t ) ] = s 1 / 4 0 d u u 3 / 2 e s 1 / 2 ( u + 1 / u ) = s 1 / 4 0 d v v 1 / 2 e s 1 / 2 ( v + 1 / v ) = s 1 / 2 0 d t t 1 / 2 e ( s t + 1 / t )
In the second line, I subbed t = s 1 / 2 u. In the third line, I subbed u = 1 / v. In the fourth line I subbed v = s 1 / 2 t. Now we take the derivative of the original integral wrt s:
F ( s ) = 0 d t t 1 / 2 e 1 / t e s t
Thus,
F ( s ) = s 1 / 2 F ( s )
