Abstract: In this paper, we study the number of $mathbb{F}_{q^n}$-rational points on the affine curve $mathcal{X}_{d,a,b}$ given by the equation ${\displaystyle }$ y^d=ax ext{Tr}(x)+b,${\displaystyle }$ where $extTr$ denote the trace function from $mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ to $mathbb{F}_q$ and $d$ is a positive integer. In particular, we present bounds for the number of $mathbb{F}_q$-rational points on $mathcal{X}_{d,a,b}$ and, for the cases where $d$ satisfies a natural condition, explicit formulas for the number of rational points are obtained. Particularly, a complete characterization is given for the case $d=2$. As a consequence of our results, we compute the number of elements $alpha$ in $mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ such that $alpha$ and $extTr(alpha)$ are quadratic residues in $mathbb{F}_{q^n}$.
