Let $S_1$ be the set of all pairs $(x,y)$ of real numbers that fulfill the condition $x^2 -y^2=1$ and $S_2$ the set of all pairs $(x,y)$ of real numbers that fulfill the condition $x^2 +y^2 =1$. The author considers the quadratic functions $f:\mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ that satisfy the additional assumption \[ y^2f(x)=x^2f(y), \] under the condition $(x,y)\in S_i~ (i=1,2)$. It is proved that each of these conditions implies \[ f(x)=f(1)x^2 \] for all $x\in \mathbb{R}.$ In addition, it is shown that every quadratic function $f:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ that satisfies the above conditions for $i=1~ \text{or}~ 2,$ is continuous.
