Let f ∈ ℚ [X] and deg f ≤ 3. We prove that if deg f = 2, then the diophantine equation f(x)f(y) = f(z)² has infinitely many nontrivial solutions in ℚ (t). In the case when deg f = 3 and f(X) = X(X²+aX+b) we show that for all but finitely many a,b ∈ ℤ satisfying ab ≠ 0 and additionally, if p|a, then p²∤b, the equation f(x)f(y) = f(z)² has infinitely many nontrivial solutions in rationals.
