SUMMARY
The discussion centers on rewriting the expression (-1)^(n-1) in the context of power series. The user seeks clarification on whether this can be expressed as (-1)^n * (-1). The consensus is that the expression can indeed be rewritten as (-1)^n / (-1), confirming that (-1)^(n-1) equals [(-1)^n] / (-1).
