Dear student,
the graph of quadratic should be downward because if the graph is upward it can be positive for infinite value of negative integers so    
\alpha\alpha-3 is always \alpha
so the given equation becomes 
\alpha x2+(3-2\alpha)x-6 factorizes into (x-2)(\alphax+3)
roots are 2,-3/\alpha
exactly 2 integers are present in between roots so 1 and 0 or 3 and 4
case 1: 1 and 0 are the integers
so -3/\alpha\alpha>0 but \alpha
case 2: 3 and 4 are the integers 
so -3/\alpha > 4 :  \alpha>-3/4 and \alpha\alpha is integer so the possible values of \alpha are none 
finally o possible values of \alpha
