Abstract: The integral $$ for $$ has been comprehensively studied by Mortini and Rupp for pedagogical purposes. We write for a similar purpose, elaborating on their work with the more general consideration $$. This culminates in an explicit solution in terms of the hypergeometric function for $|alpha|eq1$ and any $$. For rational $$, the integral is reduced to a finite sum. A differential equation in $alpha$ is derived for this integral, which we show has similar properties to the hypergeometric equation.
