Mathematica

a = 4; b = 2; c = 1;
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, -.8, -.7}, WorkingPrecision -> 110]
RealDigits[r1] (* A198357 *)
r2 = x /. FindRoot[f[x] == g[x], {x, .29, .30}, WorkingPrecision -> 110]
RealDigits[r2] (* A198358 *)
