For $E:y^2=x^3-17x$, the two-isogeny formula gives $E^{\prime }:Y^2=X^3+68X$. By the prime-support bound in two-isogeny descent, the image of the two-torsion square-class homomorphism on $E$ lies in $\{1,-1,17,-17\}$. The identity gives $1$, $T=(0,0)$ gives $-17$, and $P=(-1,4)$ gives $-1$, since $(-1{)}^3-17(-1)=16$. The image is a subgroup of the square-class group, so their product $17$ occurs as well; explicitly $P+T=(17,68)$. HenceOn $E^{\prime }$, a nonzero affine point has $X>0$, because $Y^2=X(X^2+68)$. The only candidate square classes are therefore $1,2,17,34$. The identity gives $1$, $T^{\prime }=(0,0)$ gives $[68]=17$, and $(2,12)$ gives $2$, since $2^3+68\cdot 2=144$. Their product $34$ occurs; adding $T^{\prime }$ gives $(34,-204)$. ThusBoth images have order four. The two-isogeny rank formula provesThis is the rank-two elliptic curve with cubic x cubed minus seventeen x; all candidate classes are represented, so no unresolved local-to-global gap in isogeny descent remains in this computation.
