Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to find the zeros of the function is to write the polynomial as a product of linear terms with the form (x - c). Therefore, the right answer is:

C. g(x) = 2(x - 9)( x + 3)

Because is written as a product and all factors are linear.

In this case, we can identify the zeros making each
