The Lutz–Nagell theorem says that for a nonsingular short equation $y^2=x^3+ax+b$ with $a,b\in \mathbb{Z}$, every nonidentity rational torsion point of an elliptic curve $(x,y)$ has $x,y\in \mathbb{Z}$, and either $y=0$ orThis is a necessary condition for torsion, not a converse.

To prove integrality, fix a prime $q$. If $v_q(x)<0$, the $x^3$ term dominates the right side of the equation. Hence $2v_q(y)=3v_q(x)$, so $v_q(x)=-2s$, $v_q(y)=-3s$ for some $s\ge 1$. The parameter $t=-x/y$ has valuation $s$ and identifies the point with the formal neighbourhood of the identity, namely the formal group of an elliptic curve evaluated on $q{\mathbb{Z}}_q$.

For odd $q$, this group is a torsion-free group by the logarithm argument of Question 2. For $q=2$, use the special short-model structure. Negation sends $t$ exactly to $-t$, so the formal multiplication series $[2](t)$ is odd and has integral coefficients:If $s=v_2(t)\ge 1$, the first term has valuation $s+1$ and all the others have valuation at least $3s>s+1$. Thus $v_2([2](t))=s+1$, and no iteration of doubling kills a nonzero point. Multiplication by an odd integer has unit linear coefficient and also cannot kill it. This proves the torsion-free formal subgroup for a short Weierstrass equation, including at two. Consequently a rational torsion point of an elliptic curve cannot have $v_q(x)<0$ at any prime. Its $x$ is integral, and the equation then makes its rational $y$ integral too.

For the divisibility conclusion suppose $y\ne 0$. Then $2P\ne O$ and is also a rational torsion point of an elliptic curve, so $x(2P)$ is integral. Its tangent slope $\lambda =f^{\prime }(x)/(2y)$ satisfies $x(2P)={\lambda }^2-2x$. Thus ${\lambda }^2\in \mathbb{Z}$; a rational number with integral square is itself integral. In particular $y^2\mid f^{\prime }(x{)}^2$. Reduce the supplied polynomial identity modulo $y^2=f(x)$: both terms on the left are divisible by $y^2$, so the right side $4a^3+27b^2$ is too. This is the divisibility proof in the Nagell–Lutz theorem.

For the specific curve, $4a^3+27b^2=3^7{5}^4$. The computed equality $2P_1=-P_1$ makes $P_1$ a point of exact order three. The coordinate $y(P_3)=17$ has square not dividing $3^7{5}^4$, so $P_3$ has infinite order. To decide $P_2$, use the already computed point $P_1+P_2=(15,-60)$. Its $y$-coordinate has even square, which cannot divide the odd number $3^7{5}^4$, so that sum has infinite order. Since $P_1$ is torsion, $P_2$ must have infinite order as well. $P_1$ has order three; $P_2$ and $P_3$ both have infinite order.
