Mathematica

a = 3; b = 3; c = 1;
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, -1.2, -1.1}, WorkingPrecision -> 110]
RealDigits[r1] (* A198230 *)
r2 = x /. FindRoot[f[x] == g[x], {x, .25, .26}, WorkingPrecision -> 110]
RealDigits[r2] (* A198231 *)
