In the theory of hypergeometric functions of one or several variables, a remarkable amount of mathematicians's concern has been given to develop their transformation formulas and summation identities. Here we aim at generalizing the following transformation formula for the Exton's triple hypergeometric series $X_{12}$ and $X_{17}$: $$(1+2z)^{-b}X_{17}\;\left(a,b,c_3;\;c_1,c_2,2c_3;\;x,{\frac{y}{1+2z}},{\frac{4z}{1+2z}}\right)\\{\hfill{53}}=X_{12}\;\left(a,b;\;c_1,c_2,c_3+{\frac{1}{2}};\;x,y,z^2\right).$$ The results are derived with the help of two general hypergeometric identities for the terminating $_2F_1(2)$ series which were very recently obtained by Kim et al. Four interesting results closely related to the Exton's transformation formula are also chosen, among ten, to be derived as special illustrative cases of our main findings. The results easily obtained in this paper are simple and (potentially) useful.

In the theory of hypergeometric functions of one or several variables, a remarkable amount of mathematicians's concern has been given to develop their transformation formulas and summation identities. Here we aim at presenting explicit expressions (in a single form) of the following weighted Appell's function $F_1$: $$(1+2x)^{-a}(1+2z)^{-b}F_1\;\(c,\;a,\;b;\;2c+j;\;\frac{4x}{1+2x},\;\frac{4z}{1+2z}\)\;(j=0,\;{\pm}1,\;{\ldots},\;{\pm}5)$$ in terms of Exton's triple hypergeometric $X_9$. The results are derived with the help of generalizations of Kummer's second theorem very recently provided by Kim et al. A large number of very interesting special cases including Exton's result are also given.
