Mathematica

a = 2; b = -4; c = -1;
f[x_] := a*x^2 + b*x; g[x_] := c*Cos[x]
Plot[{f[x], g[x]}, {x, -1, 3}]
r1 = x /. FindRoot[f[x] == g[x], {x, .27, .28}, WorkingPrecision -> 110]
RealDigits[r1](* A198122 *)
r2 = x /. FindRoot[f[x] == g[x], {x, 2.1, 2.2}, WorkingPrecision -> 110]
RealDigits[r2](* A198123 *)
