Mathematica

a = 3; b = 1; c = 2;
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, -.9, -.8}, WorkingPrecision -> 110]
RealDigits[r1]  (* A198216 *)
r2 = x /. FindRoot[f[x] == g[x], {x, .59, .6}, WorkingPrecision -> 110]
RealDigits[r2] (* A198217 *)
