f[x_] := a*x^2 + b*x*Cos[x]; g[x_] := c
Plot[{f[x], g[x]}, {x, -2 Pi, 2 Pi}, {AxesOrigin -> {0, 0}}]
r = x /. FindRoot[f[x] == g[x], {x, -1.4, -1.3}, WorkingPrecision -> 110]
RealDigits[r]   (* A199182  least of four roots *)
r = x /. FindRoot[f[x] == g[x], {x, 3.27, 3.28}, WorkingPrecision -> 110]
RealDigits[r]  (* A199183   greatest of four roots *)
