Example

least x: -1.1690226923053929102101002288527830...
greatest x: 0.89565238135842890121817647213537...

Mathematica

a = 2; b = 1; c = 4;
f[x_] := a*x^2 + b*x; g[x_] := c*Cos[x]
Plot[{f[x], g[x]}, {x, -2, 1}]
r1 = x /. FindRoot[f[x] == g[x], {x, -1.17, -1.16}, WorkingPrecision -> 110]
RealDigits[r1](* A198118 *)
r2 = x /. FindRoot[f[x] == g[x], {x, .8, .9}, WorkingPrecision -> 110]
RealDigits[r2](* A198119 *)
