Mathematica

a = 3; b = 2; c = 2;
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, -1.02, -1.01}, WorkingPrecision -> 110]
RealDigits[r1]  (* A198224 *)
r2 = x /. FindRoot[f[x] == g[x], {x, .5, .51}, WorkingPrecision -> 110]
RealDigits[r2]  (* A198225 *)
