1296 = 2⁴ × 3⁴
Hence, 1298 = 6⁴ = 36² = 1296¹

There are 3 pairs of integers (a, b) satisfy the equation aᵇ = 1296, i.e.
(6, 4), (36, 2) and (1296, 1)

　
1296 = 6^4
1296 = (−6)^4
1296 = 6^(2*2) = (6^2)^2 = 36^2
1296 = (−36)^2
1296 = 1296^1

5 integer solutions: (6,4), (−6,4), (36,2), (−36,2), (1296,1)
