Mathematica

a = 1; b = 4; c = 3;
f[x_] := a*x^2 + b*x*Cos[x]; g[x_] := c*Sin[x]
Plot[{f[x], g[x]}, {x, -2, 4}, {AxesOrigin -> {0, 0}}]
r = x /. FindRoot[f[x] == g[x], {x, -.56, -.55}, WorkingPrecision -> 110]
RealDigits[r]  (* A199617, least of 4 roots *)
r = x /. FindRoot[f[x] == g[x], {x, 3.4, 3.5}, WorkingPrecision -> 110]
RealDigits[r]  (* A199618, greatest of 4 roots *)
