rational points of a hyperelliptic curve
I have the following hyperelliptic curve of genus $2$:
$$
y^2 = 561 x^6 - 41904 x^5 + 627264 x^4 + 11860992 x^3 - 197074944 x^2 + 124416^2
$$
I need to find all the rational points on this curve. ...

Rational perfect power values of $y(y+1)$
This is hard, so I am looking for partial results and how hard it is.
Let $n>4$. Is it true that the hyperelliptic curve $x^n=y(y+1)$
doesn't have rational point with $x \ne 0$?
If necessarily ...

Hyperelliptic curves imply FLT-like results
Probably this is known, but doesn't show in searches.
If a certain hyperelliptic curve has only trivial rational points,
FLT-like curve also has only trivial rationals points for fixed $n$.
Working ...

Elementary constraints for the solutions of $z^{n-2}y(y+z)=x^n$?
Related to FLT and this question.
For natural $n > 4 $ define the curve $C_n : z^{n-2}y(y+z)=x^n$.
$C_n$ has the trivial points with $x=0$ for all $n$.
The answer in the linked question shows ...
