The authors consider general polynomials \(f\colon \mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}\) of degree two that fulfill\N\[\Nf(x)\cdot f(y)=0 \qquad \left((x, y)\in D\right),\N\]\Nwhere \(D\subset \mathbb{R}^{2}\) is given by some algebraic condition.\N\NTheir main result is Theorem 2.1 that reads as follows.\N\NTheorem. Let \(m\) denote a positive rational. Suppose that \(f \colon \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}\) is a generalized polynomial of degree two and \(f(x)\cdot f(y) = 0\) for all solutions of the equation \(x^2- m \cdot y^{2} = 1\). Then \(f\) is identically equal to zero.\N\NAs a corollary they deduce that if \(a\) and \(b\) are positive real numbers such that \(\frac{a^{2}}{b^{2}}\) is rational and \(f \colon \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}\) is a generalized polynomial of degree two such that \(f(x)\cdot f(y) = 0\) for all solutions of the equation \(\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1\). Then \(f\) is identically equal to zero.
