Mathematica

a = 2; b = 1; c = 1;
f[x_] := a*x^2 + b*x; g[x_] := c*Cos[x]
Plot[{f[x], g[x]}, {x, -1, 1}]
r1 = x /. FindRoot[f[x] == g[x], {x, -0.88, -0.87}, WorkingPrecision -> 110]
RealDigits[r1](* A198112 *)
r2 = x /.FindRoot[f[x] == g[x], {x, 4.6, 4.7}, WorkingPrecision -> 110]
RealDigits[r2](* A198113 *)
