To find the zeros of the function, we set g(x) equal to zero and solve for x:

0 = (x-6)^2 - 9

Add 9 to both sides:

9 = (x-6)^2

Take the square root of both sides:

±3 = x - 6

Add 6 to both sides to solve for x:

x = 6 ± 3

So, the zeros of the function are x = 9 and x = 3.

These are also the x-intercepts of the graph of the function.
