If $x_1 = -1$ and $x_m = x_{m+1} + (m + 1)$ for every positive integer $m,$ then $x_{100}$ equals

Let $x, y, z$ be three positive real numbers in a geometric progression such that $x<y<z$. If $5 x, 16 y$, and $12 z$ are in an arithmetic progression then the common ratio of the geometric progression is

If $\mathrm{x}_{0}=1, \mathrm{x}_{1}=2$, and $\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{n}+2}=\frac{1+x_{n+1}}{x_{n}}, n=0,1,2,3 \ldots \ldots$., then $x_{2021}$ is
