Answer:

(2). -1

Explanation:

The given parameter can be represented as:


(-1)^(2m + 1)

See comment for correct question

Required

The end result

From the question, we understand that m is a natural number

This means that:


2m + 1 \to odd number

So:


(-1)^(2m + 1) = -1 --- i.e. -1 to the power of an odd number will give -1

Hence; (2) is correct
