Mathematica

a = 1; b = -4; c = 1;
f[x_] := a*x^2 + b*x*Cos[x]; g[x_] := c*Sin[x]
Plot[{f[x], g[x]}, {x, -4, 2}, {AxesOrigin -> {0, 0}}]
r = x /. FindRoot[f[x] == g[x], {x, -3.7, -3.6}, WorkingPrecision -> 110]
RealDigits[r]   (* A199737 least root *)
r = x /. FindRoot[f[x] == g[x], {x, 1.39, 1.40}, WorkingPrecision -> 110]
RealDigits[r]   (* A199738 greatest root *)
