Beautiful solution
After studying a little bit of log, I thought this would be a good problem.
a lo g a b = b , putting any irrational number as a and any rational number as b = a 2 , we have infinite answers!
P.S. I need practice for log, as I just studied it today, so I may be wrong. Please comment if that is the case.
The word "any" is incorrect. For example, take a = b , where b is square free. Then lo g a b is rational. Otherwise your logic is correct.

Write "any b = a 2 ".

Take this example: 2 2 .
If 2 2 is a rational number, then the problem is solved.
If 2 2 is an irrational number, then consider this case:
Therefore, there is always a case where an irrational number raised to the power of another irrational number results in a rational number.
