Mathematica

a = 1; b = -2; c = -2;
f[x_] := a*x^2 + b*x; g[x_] := c*Cos[x]
Plot[{f[x], g[x]}, {x, 0, 3}]
r1 = x /. FindRoot[f[x] == g[x], {x, 1, 1.1}, WorkingPrecision -> 110]
RealDigits[r1] (* A197849 *)
r2 = x /. FindRoot[f[x] == g[x], {x, 2.6, 2.7}, WorkingPrecision -> 110]
RealDigits[r2] (* A197850 *)
