Elliptic Curve Groups Over Real Numbers

1. Does the elliptic curve equation y2 = x3 - 7x - 6 over real numbers define a group? 

2. What is the additive identity of regular integers? 

3. Is (4,7) a point on the elliptic curve y2 = x3 - 5x + 5 over real numbers? 

4. What are the negatives of the following elliptic curve points over real numbers? 

P(-4,-6), Q(17,0), R(3,9), S(0,-4) 

5. In the elliptic curve group defined by y2 = x3 - 17x + 16 over real numbers, what is P + Q if P = (0,-4) and Q = (1,0)? 

6. In the elliptic curve group defined by y2 = x3 - 17x + 16 over real numbers, what is 2P if P = (4, 3.464)?
