The given integral is:

$\int_{-1}^{1} x \sqrt{x + 2} \, dx$

To solve this, we can use substitution. Let’s define:

$u = x + 2$

Then:

$du = dx$

When $x = -1$, $u = 1$.
When $x = 1$, $u = 3$.

So, the integral becomes:

$\int_{1}^{3} (u - 2) \sqrt{u} \, du$

Now, distribute the terms:

$\int_{1}^{3} \left( u^{3/2} - 2u^{1/2} \right) \, du$

We can now integrate each term:

$\int u^{3/2} \, du = \frac{2}{5} u^{5/2}$ $\int u^{1/2} \, du = \frac{2}{3} u^{3/2}$

Thus, we have:

$\left[ \frac{2}{5} u^{5/2} - \frac{4}{3} u^{3/2} \right]_{1}^{3}$

Now substitute the limits of integration (1 and 3):

At $u = 3$: $\frac{2}{5} (3^{5/2}) - \frac{4}{3} (3^{3/2})$

At $u = 1$: $\frac{2}{5} (1^{5/2}) - \frac{4}{3} (1^{3/2})$

Now, compute the values and subtract to find the final result.
