I enter this into Matlab but I only receive back one of its positive roots and I know it has at least three.
syms x,
y=exp(-0.2*x)*cos(2*x)-0.15*x^2+1;
sol=solve(y)

It has exactly three.
The easiest way is to plot the function, observe the approximate crossings, and run a numeric solver that is constrained to each range in turn.
