What is $_3F_2\left(1,\frac32,2;\ \frac43,\frac53;\ \frac4{27}\right)$ as an integral?

This was buried in a rather long question, so I'm asking it separately to give it some air. Define, $$A_3={_3F_2}\left(1,\frac{\color{blue}1}2,\frac22;\ \frac43,\frac53;\ \frac4{27}\right)$$ $$B_3={...

On $\int_0^1\arctan\,_6F_5\left(\frac17,\frac27,\frac37,\frac47,\frac57,\frac67;\,\frac26,\frac36,\frac46,\frac56,\frac76;\frac{n}{6^6}\,x\right)\,dx$

Reshetnikov gave the remarkable evaluation, \begin{align} I&= \int_0^1\arctan{_4F_3}\left(\frac15,\frac25,\frac35,\frac45;\frac24,\frac34,\frac54;\frac{1}{64}\,x\right)\,dx \\ &=\frac{3125}{...

Finding the value of ${_2F_1}\left(\frac12,\frac12;\ 1;\ 1/9\right)$

I need help finding the value of $${_2F_1}\left(\frac12,\frac12;\ 1;\ \frac{1}{9} \right)\tag1$$ Not in terms of elliptic functions. I've tried many methods on this and have reduced it down to many ...

Integrate $\int_{0}^{\pi}{-\cos{x}}{_2F_1}\left(\frac{1}{2},\frac{1-n}{2};\frac{3}{2};\cos{^{2}x}\right)\sin{^{1+n}x}\sin{^{2}x}^{\frac{-1-n}{2}}$

May I expect the closed-form of this integral? $$\int_{0}^{\pi}{{_2F_1}\left(\left.\begin{array}{cc}\frac{1}{2}&\frac{-n+1}{2}\\&\frac{3}{2}\end{array}\right|\cos^2(x)\right)(-\cos{x})(\sin{...

Closed-form of the hypergeometric function ${_4F_3}\left(\begin{array}c1,1,\tfrac54,\tfrac74\\\tfrac32,2,2\end{array}\middle|\,-t\right)$

Inspired by this question and by using Mathematica the following conjecture seems to be true for all nonzero complex $t$ number: $${_4F_3}\left(\begin{array}c1,1,\tfrac54,\tfrac74\\\tfrac32,2,2\end{...
