In "New properties for a composition of some generating functions for primes", properties of generating functions are used to form a primality test, speaking specifically in example 1 the following equality appears:
$\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}\binom{n-1}{k-1}\frac{a^{n-k}b^k}{k}=\frac{(a+b)^n-a^n-b^n}{n}, a,b,n\in\mathbb{Z}^+$
I don't doubt its veracity, but I don't see how to justify it (it's probably simple but I'm a bit lost).
Can someone guide me to prove this equality?
