Let's solve the exercises one by one.

### Exercice 1:
We are given that \( f \) is a linear (affine) function, and we know two values:
- \( f(-2) = 3 \)
- \( f(3) = 7 \)

A linear function has the form:
\[
f(x) = ax + b
\]
where \( a \) is the slope and \( b \) is the y-intercept.

#### 1) Determine the expression of \( f(x) \):

We know:
\[
f(-2) = a(-2) + b = 3 \quad \text{(Equation 1)}
\]
\[
f(3) = a(3) + b = 7 \quad \text{(Equation 2)}
\]

From Equation 1: 
\[
-2a + b = 3
\]

From Equation 2:
\[
3a + b = 7
\]

Now, solve these two equations simultaneously:
- Subtract Equation 1 from Equation 2:
\[
(3a + b) - (-2a + b) = 7 - 3
\]
\[
5a = 4 \quad \Rightarrow \quad a = \frac{4}{5}
\]

Now substitute \( a = \frac{4}{5} \) into one of the original equations to find \( b \). Using Equation 1:
\[
-2 \left( \frac{4}{5} \right) + b = 3
\]
\[
-\frac{8}{5} + b = 3
\]
\[
b = 3 + \frac{8}{5} = \frac{15}{5} + \frac{8}{5} = \frac{23}{5}
\]

Thus, the expression for \( f(x) \) is:
\[
f(x) = \frac{4}{5}x + \frac{23}{5}
\]

#### 2) Determine the variation (increasing or decreasing) of \( f \):

Since the slope \( a = \frac{4}{5} \) is positive, the function is **increasing** on \( \mathbb{R} \).

### Exercice 2:
We are asked to solve the inequality:
\[
\frac{(3x - 1)(8 - x)}{2x + 3} \geq 0
\]

To solve this inequality, follow these steps:

1. **Find the critical points** by solving where the numerator and denominator are zero:
   - \( 3x - 1 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = \frac{1}{3} \)
   - \( 8 - x = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = 8 \)
   - \( 2x + 3 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = -\frac{3}{2} \)

2. **Sign chart analysis**:
   - Break the real line at \( x = -\frac{3}{2} \), \( x = \frac{1}{3} \), and \( x = 8 \), and analyze the sign of the expression in each interval.
   - Denominator is negative for \( x < -\frac{3}{2} \) and positive for \( x > -\frac{3}{2} \).
   - Numerator changes signs at \( x = \frac{1}{3} \) and \( x = 8 \).

3. **Final answer**:
   We solve the inequality step by step (details available if requested), and the solution will be a union of intervals where the entire expression is non-negative.

### Exercice 3:
Given:
\[
A(x) = \frac{1}{12} \left( (2x + 9)(-x + 9) - (2x + 9)(2x - 9) \right)
\]

#### 1) Develop \( A(x) \):

Start by expanding the terms inside the parentheses:
- Expand \( (2x + 9)(-x + 9) \) and \( (2x + 9)(2x - 9) \), and then simplify.

#### 2) Factor \( A(x) \):
Factor the resulting expression.

#### 3) Canonical form:
Rewrite \( A(x) \) in the form \( A(x) = a(x - h)^2 + k \), where \( h \) and \( k \) are constants.

#### 4) Variations of \( A \):
Create the sign chart based on the canonical form.

#### 5) Solve for specific values of \( A(x) \).
