    Solution:

    Step 1: Rewriting the Circle Equation

    First, we rewrite the circle equation in a more standard form by completing the square: x23x+y24y=c1x^2 - 3x + y^2 - 4y = c_1 Completing the square for xx and yy: (x32)294+(y2)24=c1(x - \frac{3}{2})^2 - \frac{9}{4} + (y - 2)^2 - 4 = c_1 (x32)2+(y2)2=c1+134(x - \frac{3}{2})^2 + (y - 2)^2 = c_1 + \frac{13}{4}

    Step 2: Conditions for Circle Intersection with the X-Axis

    A circle intersects the x-axis where y=0y = 0. Substituting y=0y = 0 into the modified circle equation gives: (x32)2+(2)2=c1+134(x - \frac{3}{2})^2 + (2)^2 = c_1 + \frac{13}{4} (x32)2=c1+1344(x - \frac{3}{2})^2 = c_1 + \frac{13}{4} - 4 (x32)2=c134(x - \frac{3}{2})^2 = c_1 - \frac{3}{4} For the circle to intersect the x-axis at integral points, the expression (x32)2(x - \frac{3}{2})^2 must be such that the solutions for xx are integers. This implies that (x32)2(x - \frac{3}{2})^2 itself must be a perfect square.

    Step 3: Ensuring Integral Intersections

    The left side, (x32)2(x - \frac{3}{2})^2, can be written as (2x3)2/4(2x - 3)^2 / 4, a transformation of the variable xx into an expression involving integers only when multiplied by 4. So, for integer solutions of xx: (2x3)2=4(c134)(2x - 3)^2 = 4(c_1 - \frac{3}{4}) (2x3)2=4c13(2x - 3)^2 = 4c_1 - 3 The right side must also be a perfect square for xx to be integral. Let's say 4c13=k24c_1 - 3 = k^2 for some integer kk. Solving for c1c_1 gives: 4c1=k2+34c_1 = k^2 + 3 c1=k2+34c_1 = \frac{k^2 + 3}{4} For c1c_1 to be a natural number, k2+3k^2 + 3 must be divisible by 4. Analyzing this condition modulo 4, we observe that k2mod4k^2 \mod 4 can be either 0 or 1 (since k2k^2 is the square of either an even or an odd number). The only way k2+3k^2 + 3 is divisible by 4 is if k2mod4=1k^2 \mod 4 = 1. Therefore, kk must be odd.
