Abstract: Let $C$ be a smooth genus one curve described by a quartic polynomial equation over the rational field $mathbbQ$ with $PinC(mathbbQ)$. We give an explicit criterion for the divisibility-by-$2$ of a rational point on the elliptic curve $(C,P)$. This provides an analogue to the classical criterion of the divisibility-by-$2$ on elliptic curves described by Weierstrass equations. We employ this criterion to investigate the question of extending a rational $D(q)$-quadruple to a quintuple. We give concrete examples to which we can give an affirmative answer. One of these results implies that although the rational $D(16t+9)$-quadruple $t,16t+8,225t+14,36t+20$ can not be extended to a polynomial $D(16t+9)$-quintuple using a linear polynomial, there are infinitely many rational values of $t$ for which the aforementioned rational $D(16t+9)$-quadruple can be extended to a rational $D(16t+9)$-quintuple. Moreover, these infinitely many values of $t$ are parametrized by the rational points on a certain elliptic curve of positive Mordell-Weil rank.
