Using a JavaScript trigger you should be able to calculate using your equation and push the results back into another variable.

Create variables for J, P, n, and output.

Create a JavaScript trigger to grab the values entered in for J, P, n and return the equation results in output.

var player=GetPlayer();

//grab the equation inputs from SL
var J=player.GetVar("J");
var P=player.GetVar("P");
var n=player.GetVar("n");
//run the calculation and push into the SL variable called output
results=P*(J/(Math.pow((1-J), n)));
player.SetVar("output",results);
