<u>ANSWER</u>
The common ratio is -3.
<u>EXPLANATION</u>
In general, the common ratio of a Geometric Sequence is given by:

We can find the common ratio using any two consecutive terms of the geometric sequence by dividing the subsequent term by the previous term.
The given sequence is -2,6,-18,54
Using the first two terms the common ratio is

We could also used the second and third terms to get

and so on and so forth.
Therefore the common ratio is -3.
Here is the website for the answer... I hope this helps...
P.S. I think that if you click on the link, it won't work. So, just copy and paste...
The first letter can be any one of 8. For each of those . . .
The second letter can be any one of the remaining 7. For each of those . . .
The third letter can be any one of the remaining 6. For each of those . . .
The fourth letter can be any one of the remaining 5. For each of those . . .
The fifth letter can be any one of the remaining 4.
The total number of possibilities is (8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4) = <em>6,720</em> .
(That's 8! / 3! .)
Note:
If you're allowed to use the same letter more than once,
then there are 8 choices for each of the 5 letters.
The total number of possibilities then is (8 x 8 x 8 x 8 x 8) = 32,768 .
(That's 8⁵ or 2¹⁵ .)
