When carbon burns in air carbon dioxide is formed what type of reaction is this a combination reaction?

Yes. Any "burning" process is called combustion or "oxidation" as every substance burns only in the presence of oxygen and as oxygen is being "added" i.e., it is on the reactant side, it is termed as oxidation.
