How would a square root property be applied for this quadratic equation? Do you expect 4x^2-9x-7 to be a perfect square? Factorable? By appearances, a good guess is that it is not. A better solution method is completion of the square to put into standard form, or to directly use the general solution to a quadratic formula.
