Which is the correct first line for dividing the function

Answer: The answer is the third option.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. To divide the polynomials given above, [tex]f(x)=x^{3}-12x+16[/tex] by [tex](x-2)[/tex], you must complete the polynomial with the missing term [tex]0x^{2}[/tex]:
2. Now, you need to write the coefficients of the polynomial:
1 0 -12 16
3. You must write the denominator and solve for [tex]x[/tex] in the deminator to find the number that you need to write in the box to make the division:
[tex]x-2=0\\x=2[/tex]
Given function is f(x) = x³ -12x +16.
We can write it as x³ +0x² -12x +16.
We need to write the numbers in order from left to right, so it would be {1, 0, -12, 16}.
Given factor is x -2 = 0, that means x = 2. So we need to divide the numbers by 2.
So correct way to divide the function would be 2 L 1, 0, -12, 16.
Hence, option C is correct.
