Multiple Choice

Solve the equation by extracting the square roots.
- $$2 ( x - 1 ) ^ { 2 } = 7$$

• A) \(x = 1 - \sqrt { \frac { 7 } { 2 } }\) or \(x = 1 + \sqrt { \frac { 7 } { 2 } }\)
• B) \(x = \sqrt { \frac { 7 } { 2 } }\)
• C) \(x = - 1 - \sqrt { \frac { 7 } { 2 } }\) or \(x = - 1 + \sqrt { \frac { 7 } { 2 } }\)
• D) \(x = - \sqrt { \frac { 7 } { 2 } }\) or \(x = \sqrt { \frac { 7 } { 2 } }\)
