Answer:  The common ratio of the given geometric sequence = 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the given geometric  sequence :  {3, 18, 108, ...}

Here the first term = [tex]a_1=3[/tex]

The second term = [tex]a_2=ar=18[/tex]

The third term = [tex]a_3=ar^2=108[/tex]

Then common ratio of the above geometric sequence with n terms  is given by:-

[tex]r=\dfrac{a_{m+1}}{a_m}=\dfrac{108}{3}=\dfrac{18}{3}=6[/tex]

therefore, the common ratio of the given geometric sequence = 6.
