Let's solve the expression \( P \) given in the problem step by step.

**Step a: Rút gọn \( P \)**

The expression for \( P \) is:

\[
P = \left( \frac{2x + 1 - \sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x^3 - 1} + x + \sqrt{x + 1}} \right) \cdot \left( \frac{3}{\sqrt{x - 1} + \frac{2\sqrt{x} + 5}{1 - x}} \right)
\]

1. Simplify the first part:

To simplify \( \sqrt{x^3 - 1} \), we know that \( x^3 - 1 = (x - 1)(x^2 + x + 1) \), and for simplicity, ensure we investigate the denominator thoroughly.

2. Simplify the square roots in the entire expression.

3. Combine like terms where possible.

4. Factor the expressions where applicable to reduce \( P \).

**Step b: Tính giá trị của \( P \) khi \( x = \frac{8}{3 - \sqrt{5}} \)**

Substituting \( x = \frac{8}{3 - \sqrt{5}} \) into the simplified \( P \) will yield a numerical value.

1. First, calculate \( \sqrt{x} \) and any terms that follow after substituting.
2. Directly calculate simplified fractions to find \( P \).

**Step c: Tìm x nguyên để \( P \) là số tự nhiên**

You need to solve for \( x \) such that \( P \) is a natural number.

1. Set \( P = n \) (where \( n \) is a natural number).
2. Solve the resulting equation for integer values of \( x \).

**Step d: Tìm x để \( P < -1 \)**

1. Solve the inequality \( P < -1 \).
2. Analyze the behavior of \( P \) as you vary \( x \) to find the appropriate range.
