This looks like a RLC bandpass circuit, evaluated at some special point.
Usually, with problems like this, there are high and low Q approximations,
and you may be able to expand the solution in terms of this.
Several examples of this may be found in any circuit analysis text,
written before computers were in common use, such as Brenner
and Javid.
Why don't you describe the problem you are trying to solve,
as it may suggest a simplification process.
