Mathematica

a = 3; b = 4; c = 4;
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, -1.5, -1.4}, WorkingPrecision -> 110]
RealDigits[r1] (* A198138 *)
r2 = x /. FindRoot[f[x] == g[x], {x, .58, .59}, WorkingPrecision -> 110]
RealDigits[r2] (* A198139 *)
