Example

least x: 0.42341886743695639025490191456713...
greatest x: 1.46336282729643114510529642616...

Mathematica

a = 2; b = -3; c = -1;
f[x_] := a*x^2 + b*x; g[x_] := c*Cos[x]
Plot[{f[x], g[x]}, {x, -1, 2}]
r1 = x /. FindRoot[f[x] == g[x], {x, -.43, -.42}, WorkingPrecision -> 110]
RealDigits[r1](* A198120 *)
r2 = x /. FindRoot[f[x] == g[x], {x, 1.4, 1.5}, WorkingPrecision -> 110]
RealDigits[r2](* A198121 *)
