    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.
