Answer

It is a geometric sequence. $r=3$

Work Step by Step

A sequence is geometric if $\frac{a_2}{a_1}=\frac{a_3}{a_2}=\frac{a_4}{a_3}=...=r$ For the given sequence we have that: $\frac{a_2}{a_1}=\frac{6}{2}=3$ $\frac{a_3}{a_2}=\frac{18}{6}=3$ $\frac{a_4}{a_3}=\frac{54}{18}=3$ $\frac{a_5}{a_4}=\frac{162}{54}=3$ It is a geometric sequence. Common ratio: $r=3$
