The sum of the first 5 terms of a geometric progression is the same as the sum of the first 7 terms of the same progression. If the sum of the first 9 terms is 24, then the 4th term of the progression is

It is given that the sequence {$x_n$} satisfies $x_1 = 0, x_{n+1} = x_n + 1 + 2√(1+x_n)$ for $n = 1,2,...$ Then $x_{31}$ is _______

Let $S_1 = \{100, 105, 110, 115, ... \}$ and $S_2 = \{100, 95, 90, 85, ... \}$ be two series in arithmetic progression. If $a_k$ and $b_k$ are the $k$-th terms of $S_1$ and $S_2$, respectively, then $\sum_{k=1}^{20} a_k b_k$ equals __________.
