Explanation

The sequence is 1, -1, 1, -1... The odd terms are 1 and the even terms are -1. The 9th term is odd, so it is 1.

AI explanation

This sequence follows an alternating pattern where odd-positioned terms are 1 and even-positioned terms are -1. Since 9 is an odd number, the 9th term corresponds to the value of the odd positions. Therefore, the 9th term is 1.
