It looks like you gave a(c), b(c), and R(c) to desmos, and let it figure out dR/dc (numerically?) and find the zero crossing to get the desired value of c. Yes? I'm not familiar with the desmos calculator so I'm guessing.

If you would add just a bit more explanation to the Google doc for the benefit of future readers that would be most helpful.
