Mathematica

a = 1; b = 2; c = 3;
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, -1.8, -1.7}, WorkingPrecision -> 110]
RealDigits[r1]  (* A197845 *)
r2 = x /. FindRoot[f[x] == g[x], {x, .77, .78}, WorkingPrecision -> 110]
RealDigits[r2] (* A197846 *)
