On the first integrals of the generalized Abel equation of the second kind of special form (Q905607)

Consider the differential equation \[ \Biggl(\sum^{n-1}_{k=0} g_k(x) y^k\Biggr){dy\over dx}= \sum^n_{k=0} f_k(x) y^k,\qquad n\geq 2.\tag{\(*\)} \] The author derives conditions on the coefficient functions \(g_k\) and \(f_k\) for \((*)\) to find a first integral in explicit form.
