It’s some sort of alternating harmonic series, it looks like Gregory’s series as a base multiplied by sub junk and obfuscated for an undergrad homework problem to me.
Undergrad what though? lol. I don't even know if this is calc, trig, algebra, physics, or just quick maffs. What am I even looking at though?
n/m googled it, but ok, yeah... I'll just stick to saying that stats was hard.
It looks like an alternating series, so It's likely from a physics class involving electrostatic or maybe control systems. It also could be from a later calculus class where you're first introduced to alternating series like Taylor or Leibniz.
Undergrad math, likely real analysis or advanced calculus.
This is what REAL analysis looks like, done by REAL undergrads
