Except for the trivial case H(x)=0, the only nontrivial polynomial that satisfies the equation is
H(x) = 4x3/9
EXPLANATION:
Refer to the solution posted by Mike C in this location.
Chesca Ciprian solves the general case of determining all possible polynomials H(x) satisfying:
H(nx) = H'(x)*H''(x), where n is a positive integer - in this location.
