$\bold{Answer:}$

- 1

$\boxed{\small{\bold{Step-By-Step~ Explanation:}}}$

Power is the number generally written in superscript and it the number of times a number is to be multiplied.

Let the odd number be 3.

( - 1 ) ^ 3
=> - 1

When odd number is 9,

( - 1 ) ^ 9
=> - 1

Let us see why it happens,

- 1 * - 1 = 1 i.e. a positive number
But, when it is multiplied for the third time by itself i.e. - 1 it become - 1.

This happens every time ( - 1 ) is raised to an odd number.
